> [HTML Version](exitchars.htm)

_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.
