# Pro/File Basic Add/Edit Routines

How many times have you been adding or editing a file and suddenly found yourself face to face with the program listing without knowing why or how you got there?

This annoying occurrence is caused by accidentally pressing the BREAK key while the edit cursor is blinking. If you’re not paying attention, the results can be disastrous.
