Wow, I never meant to cause such a firestorm! I never wanted to change the default behavior of BB, just wanted to see if there were any alternatives.
How about this for a solution - kind of a combination of things that have been mentioned by others --- Is there a way to remove the default "Exit" from the Menu? If there is a way to remove that, I could write a simple Perl that would do the prompting. Also, this could leave open the door for a bbexit to be written in the future, if more people would like this. This would allow anyone, like me, who wants to have a prompt (and for a while, we must figureout a way to do it -- which I'll gladly share my Perl script once I write it) but leave the default Exit behavior for those who don't need this.
