Real Definition=#define abort() (_rom_call(void,(const char*),E6) ("ABNORMAL PROGRAM TERMINATION"), exit(0))

[Description]
Abnormal termination of a process.

[Explanation]
abort writes a termination message ("ABNORMAL PROGRAM TERMINATION") in the status line,
then aborts the program by a call to <A HREF="$$LINK(exit)">exit</A> (passing 0 to it).

Note that the status line text will not be visible if <CODE>SAVE_SCREEN</CODE> is defined.
