Revised December 2023
ExitChars=<list of chars>
Defines a set of characters that will force an exit from the tree, where <list of chars> can be any combination of the following:
0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
In addition to the above, a caret ('^') may be inserted in front of any of the alphabetic characters to indicate a control char, e.g. ^M triggers an exit on receipt of a CR (ENTER key).
Notes
| • | The alphabetic characters are not case sensitive. |
| • | The exitcode will be set to -51. |
| • | XTR.XNAVCOD will be set to the actual character entered |
| • | This feature is not column-sensitive. |
History
