Freechain Issue

[Nancy Palmquist]

Walter,

I ran across a problem like this on a *nix system when a user decided to 
use the CTRL-\ as an exit key.  

You can disable it in filepro with PFQUIT=OFF  - default is on.

Also, use of the X in the corner of a windows screen, instead of a 
proper exit and corrupt the freechain.

Training may be necessary to make sure exit is done properly.
