I have this code:

print "Press the spacekey to quit"

SpacePress = spacekey()
if SpacePress = 1
end
endif

I Want it to use the ESC key.

print "Press the ESC key to quit"

ESCPress = esckey()
if ESCPress = 1
end
endif

I took out all the previous codes and used

ENABLE ESCAPEKEY

and it exited to desk top. Is this the correct way?

Will it still exit to desktop when it is compilied as a compleate game?

No. what happened is that you just killed your program.

To detect the escape key in your program you need to use DISABLE ESCAPEKEY.

Make sure that you have another way of stopping your program if you use it though.

And don´t do:
SpacePress = spacekey()
if SpacePress = 1
end
endif

Just do:
if spacekey()=1 then end

That is much shorter, and I believe (correct me if im wrong) there is an escapekey() functon.
