You're running in to a warning that is preventing you from throwing away changes. When you press the mode key for another mode, if you've made changes to the pattern, you're asked if you want to leave the song or pattern without saving changes. If you press dec/no/exit, you return to the song or pattern. If you press inc/yes then the changes are discarded. To save, press store, enter, yes. Once you've stored changes, you won't get the warning when switching to another mode.

However, when I press exit it does not leave the pattern mode is there another way to leave the pattern mode? Thanks For links to all Motif info for blind owners, visit www.MoAccess.info.
