Dear Peter,
Instead of getting it to try an option-command-escape
sequence, have it 'record' what you would do to quit the
program if you were actually sitting in front of the foxpro
program and wanted to get out of it (without crashing the
program). QuicKeys will record each click on the screen by
absolute or relevant location, as well as each menu choice,
etc. Thus, if to quit in person, you would traditionally
click a "save db" button and then an 'exit' button and
finally select quit from the file menu, QuicKeys can
memorize all of this, including the time indexes that each
sequence step has to occur in. For OS 8.6, it is the best
solution that I can suggest, especially since it doesn't
tie into FoxPro (FoxBase?) directly, but instead acts (from
the point of view of FoxPro) as if it were an user sitting
at the keyboard.
Best Wishes,

I'm not at all familiar with QuicKeys.
