Oops, brain failure... The above should have read:
Direct calls to to the quit{} handler from within the idle{} handler caused
the script to perform the commands in the QUIT{} handler up to the "continue
quit" command but then return to the line after the quit{} statement and
then continue execution of the idle handler.
