Description
While pressing Esc will also halt a script, Halt Script is useful if you are also using the Allow User
Abort script step to disable the Esc key. Halt Script stops the script when Allow User Abort is set to
Off.
Examples
You can use the Halt Script script step with the Show Custom Dialog script step to present a user
with options. If the user clicks Cancel, the script stops; otherwise, the script continues.
