Virgil,
Yes, the same thing works in Windows -- you make the same changes. You
may have to search for your AbiWord.Profile file -- mine is
C:\Windows\Abisuite\AbiWord.Profile.
Here is the text of an email I sent to someone else recently explaining
the changes to make to that file:
<quote>
There is currently not a real GUI option to change the behavior on
AbiWord close -- you must modify the configuration file.
My configuration file is C:/Windows/AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile.
You need to edit the file as follows (with something like Notepad -- a
plain text editor) and then save the file:
1. See if you have a Scheme named "_custom_" -- if you do, add a line
'CloseOnLastDoc="0"' as shown below. If you don't have a scheme named
custom, you will have to create one -- you can see what mine looks like
-- it is in the file after the builtin scheme but before the Recent and
Geometry sections.
<Scheme
name="_custom_"
CloseOnLastDoc="0"
AutoSaveFile="1"
/>
2. Closer to the top of the file, you have to make sure that the
selected scheme is the "_custom_" scheme. This is what my selection
looks like:
<Select
scheme="_custom_"
autosaveprefs="1"
useenvlocale="1"
/>
3. When you are done, save the file as plain text, without any extra
extension.

hope this helps,
