There should be nothing else running during the print preview (a modal thing waiting for the user to close or print), and it's pressing escape there that flushes me straight out to the command window (from the IDE) or desktop (from the .exe).

So your suggestion is to place code in the KeyPress event of the form to trap escapes there? Is there a KeyPress event associated with the print preview window. I'm previewing in a defined full-screen window rather than the default preview that always starts too small.
