If you've started up the notebook "server" by typing sage: notebook() in the terminal, press control-c once to exit from it. Then at the sage prompt, type sage: quit to exist sage. At this point you can quit Terminal by hitting Command-Q or clicking the close-window red dot. > Similarly, for typing it directly into the notebook.

Yes, but it is best to *first* press control-c in the terminal, wait for the notebook server to shut down, then exit it with command-Q. > When I quit > Terminal this way it tells me it will terminate certain processes > (bash, python ...) and I don't know if this is bad. > > I hope it will not be intolerable to have a complete novice posting > some questions.
