Ken replied:


Or, better yet, use the correct test of

   @SK eq "BRKY"

instead.

	I will if you can get that Laura girl to update her on-line help
file which gives this example:

	Then:		MSGBOX "End program?","Press \r Y \r or \r N
\r","YN"


	If:		(@BK eq "BRKY") or (@BK eq "N")
	Then:		end

	If:		@BK eq "Y"
	Then:		exit

Also, under the System Maintained Fields section:

	4.0	@BK	- Exit key of browse lookup, MSGBOX and ERRORBOX
			  Should be tested for "BRKY" - DEL, as well as
expected 				responses.
