Have the BeforePost call a function that displays the dialog box and
returns the result. If the user selects to return to editing, call
SysUtils.Abort.

I don't understand whether this is an observation or a requirement
but, if it means you want the user to confirm a decision to abort
then have your routine do this before returning the result to the
BeforePost handler.
