No the original post was to see 1) if anyone is using this web version and 2) to get a testimonial FROM them. Period. That's all. Anything else you read into it, was not present. The purpose of customer testimonials is to get their own personal experience. That's for what I was looking.

You can't trap the 'break' key, but you can prevent its usage. In UniData it is: ON.ABORT ...which is a very finicky task to accomplish in that the command doesn't permanently turn on or off anything, it simply executes a command on a program abort. For us, the command executes the
