[RBASE-L] - Re: Saving data with the ESC key, is it possible in Rbase 7.6?

[Michael J. Sinclair]

I will try it right now!

 

As an aside...I also tried to change the control to a Variable Edit...but for some reason, the Variable edit only displays a a long thin space to type, rather than a box with multiple lines. I also tried the Variable Rich Edit, but for me that was acting very wierd...when I hit the tab key, the conrol would display a whole bunch of lines of code....I could not trace it.  Nevertheless....I will try your idea right now.
