Try this:

on run
quit
display dialog "it didn't quit"
continue quit
end run

Pier.

I want my script to quit if the user presses a particular button. It's
not happening.

Minimal case:

on run
quit
display dialog "it didn't quit"
end run

As a classic applet, it always gets to the "it didn't quit" dialog. In
the Script Editor I get the slightly cryptic error "Could not run the
script because a script is running" which I take to mean that it can't
execute the quit command on the the Script Editor while it has a script running.

How does one get an applet to stop executing and quit?


BTW,
Where do I go to find a full list of the basic AppleScript commands?
I haven't found such a thing on Apple's site,
I can't find it in the Script Editor help... where do I go?
I'm tired and frustrated with frobbing my way through this stuff.
