Peter,
When you use the Quit menu item, Mac OS X sends an event to
Revolution. You can catch this message with the AppleEvent handler or
the shutdownRequest handler. On Mac OS X, I prefer to use the
AppleEvent handler most of the time.
If you use either the AppleEvent handler or the shutdownRequest
handler without a pass command, the application will not quit by
itself (you can also lock messages and issue the quit command).
When you press command-Q, the Quit menu item should work just like
when you use the mouse to select this menu item and you can catch the
AppleEvent and shutdownRequest messages again. However, your script
may catch the commandKeyDown message. If you don't pass this message
with the pass command, your application may not quit.
There are versions of Revolution that don't pass the commandKeydown
message because of a bug. There are also versions that don't pass the
AppleEvent message.
If you are using Rev 2.8.1, problems with quitting are probably due
to a script.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

Now, the other mystery -- I convert my stack to a standalone (now
with the correct application name in the Mac manubar!) and when I
select "quit <myApp> from the application menu, nothing happens.
Anyone have any ideas what could cause this behavior? Per my
previous experiments, this is probably *not* due to anything in my
scripting, as it seems that the quit command is handled by the
system. So what could be the problem?
