You can't really blame Final Writer for this, since Esc is not an Amiga
standard for Cancel. PageStream3 doesn't use it either. In v2.2, we used Esc to
clear a text gadget, but that was a holdover from the Atari version, so we
eliminated that in 3.0. We didn't use Esc for anything else in 3.0's requesters
because it might confuse people switching from 2.2. (Several people complained
that Esc was broken, since they didn't know to use Rt Amiga X.) But it's been
long enough now that we can probably use Esc again, and since we'll need to use
it to cancel dialog boxes in the Mac version, I requested today that it be
added to the Amiga version, too. So look forward to it in either 3.0h or 3.0i.
