[Cuis-dev] [FIX] Re: Wrong feedback adding an extension category?

[Gerald Klix]

Sorry messed it up.
Here comes a version that handles aborts properly.

Fun fact: I discovered that omission, when I wanted
to add an extension category for my Haverize-package,
in the browser class. I wanted to add this very method,
to have the fixed version available in Haver, which
is based on Cuis 7.2


Best Regards,

Gerald
