>>I definitely have MyProc exiting, I can get it
after the SCAN loop. And I tried already the code, almost as you have it. Except I was checking for lStop within SCAN/ENDSCAN. I will try it now with lStop being at the SCAN line. But somehow I think my ON ESCAPE does not fire. And I do have SET ESCAPE ON. And I checked that within MyProc nothing changes the SET ESCAPE.

Could it be that my test =messagebox() gets cleared because I press Esc while the SCAN goes on? That is, I need to clear keyboard buffer right before =messagebox(), right? If so, how do you do it?
