The problem here is that TR is sending the string to be sent to
the TNC - and "it has left the station".  To stop the message by
pressing ESCAPE - TR would need to know that the TNC is still 
sending a message (otherwise, ESCAPE has a different meaning).  

I hadn't found a way to tell if the TNC was still transmiting 
or not - or if three was a way to abort a message in progress.

If someone knows how to do this - then perhaps we can improve
the operation.
