when we make WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger on any button , and then write :-

exit_form;

it's exactly the same like :-

do_key('exit_form');

so ...... what's the different here between the both ?
and when should I use it and don't use the other ?

Actually Exit_form will exit you from the application.
But do_key - If there is any trigger Key-exit then that trigger will also execute.
