SYNTAX

Quit [-c | -n | -y]

DESCRIPTION

The Quit command quits MPW. Executing the standard quit procedures, Quit first runs the Quit script located in the {MPW} directory. This script saves the Worksheet and runs any user-created Quit scripts. These Quit scripts should have a name of the form Quit•≈ (for example, Quit•SaveOpenFiles) and should also be located in the {MPW} directory.

After executing these scripts, Quit attempts to close all open files. For each open file that has been modified, Quit displays a confirmation dialog box asking whether you want to save the changes. You can use the -c, -n, or -y options in scripts to handle this question noninteractively. When all open files have been closed, Quit exits the MPW shell.

This command is equivalent to the Quit menu item.

INPUT

ALIAS RESOLUTION

Note
Quit cannot return a status of 0. If there are no errors, it is impossible to return a status code because the MPW Shell has already quit. •
