In this case those X and S options are generated by your program, not by filepro. They do whatever you or your programmer wrote them to do.

Which means you have two choices:
1) To make the X key act as you wish, contact whoever wrote your program, or get some other filepro programmer to look into modifying your program, or do it yourself.

or 2) use ctrl-c (before ever hitting esc, since esc saves)
