Yes, U are absolutely right Scot but... that's not the problem 
in RTTY mode as mentioned by John (WA9ALS).It makes no sense 
to hit the ESC while 99% is done using mouse. I'd like to see 
(likely most of RTTY users) a note in revision history as 
"Clicking any callsign in RTTY window stops any Auto-CQ in progress'.
