#36 No keystoke to abort leap/command.

[Tom Kaitchuck]

In the tutorial for Archy they say to abort a leap you should
"Type a bunch of random characters" so that it will not find
what it is looking for, and then it will return you to where
you were.

This is problematic for a number of reasons: It wastes the
users time typing random characters, and the computer
could be slowed down if there were a LOT of data in Archy
and it had to look through it all. Finally it is potentially
confusing as it could find something. I think there should
be some key, say the Escape key, that aborts the
search/command.

This would not need (at least initially) to involve any special
handling, as it is a non-printable character anyway. So
looking for it should normally not find anything. (Except for
some reason it seems to represent the icon for a down
arrow at the moment.)
