If you only limited yourself to using commands exactly as their documented, you'd never get very far in VFP. *s*
You might also want to check what the help says about ON ERROR, because it's also at odds with the description you quoted. And no, my users don't get the red alert box. ON ERROR will bypass the default behavior and do whatever you want.

>(From on-line help)
>If the user presses ESC during command or program execution, processing completes at the current program line, and an
alert appears with the following three options:
>
>(Default) Choose Cancel to immediately stop program execution and return to the
Command window.
>
>
>Choose Suspend to pause program execution and return to the
Command window. This option is useful for debugging a program. Choosing Resume from the Program menu or issuing RESUME in the Command window restarts the program at the line at which it was paused.
>
>
>Choose Ignore to continue program execution at the line at which it was paused.
