<br>
If there are open and unsaved files, the termination dialogue offers<br>
three choices: "Discard", "Abort", and "Save".  The effect of "Abort"<br>
is to cancel the close procedure and return to the active application.<br>
<br>
Personally I find the use of the term "Abort" inappropriate at the<br>
least, if not to say offensive.  Abortion in the wider world refers<br>
predominantly to the termination of a pregnancy and is a word that<br>
conjures up a complex of emotions, whichever side of the fence one<br>
stands.  To use it in this context is unnecessarily inflammatory when<br>
the word "Cancel" is more descriptive and direct.<br>
<br>
Might I suggest that this be changed in the upcoming version?  No doubt<br>
the word appears elsewhere in Eric: it ought to be changed wherever it<br>
appears.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
