press x <return>

  $ luatex no-such-file.tex
  This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014) (rev 4971) 
  restricted \write18 enabled.
  ! I can't find file `no-such-file.tex'.
  <*> no-such-file.tex
                 
  Please type another input file name: x
  (/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tools/x.tex

There is a file x.tex which causes TeX to abort.  It works for both,
LaTeX and plain TeX.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
