Using Help in 9.5 64, there is the following description:
Use the EXITFORM command to exit the current form currently being edited or
entered in R:BASE for DOS.
Under Windows this is equivilant to the CLOSEWINDOW command.
The only thing where you have to pay attention to is that closewindow
without an alias will close the current form
If you like to close a specific (not current form) you have to mention the
alias
f.i.
edit using Customer mdi as customer_mdi
To close it, use:
Closewindow customer_mdi
Then the form will close even it is not the current form
There is also a command available to check if a form is available
(IFWINDOW('windowname'))
It's very powerful but it also can surprise you, I have discovered.

According to help, under Windows , both commands are equivalent and only
EXITFORM is listed as an eep-specific command.

Hi list,
I've answered my own question. My form is a single table form, so I can use
the following as my button eep:
EXITFORM
EDIT USING formname ORDER BY othercolumn RETURN
An interesting point: EXITFORM (or CLOSEWINDOW) does not actually close the
form window. If I move the newly sorted form, the old form is visible
although it cannot be accessed. Repeatedly pressing the re-sort button and
moving the form leaves all of the forms visible. Then when you actually do
exit the form, they all disappear.

Hello,
Can I dynamically change (i.e. using a button on the form) the sort order of
a table in a scrolling region? Or do I need to use a DB Grid? Thanks for
your help.
