In the KeyUp, KeyDown, or KeyPress event, code:

IF POW-KEYCODE = POW-KEY-ESCAPE
(do something).

BUT - PowerCOBOL traps for the ESC key during debugging and interrupts
execution.* Your application will still see the escape key, but execution
stops and you have to mash [F5] to continue executing.

*Why, oh why, they didn't use the "ScrollLock" key to control the debugging
process is a mystery.
