No, it is my understanding that SET ESCAPE OFF does not disable the ESC key - what it does is disable the interruption of an executing program, with the ESC key.
You should still be able to carry out some default actions with ESC, such as closing a BROWSE window, or a preview window.
What you have to program separately is the closing of a regular form with ESC. One way to do this is to have a "Cancel" button, with the corresponding property set.
