I find myself somewhat at odds with the ASLG on this one, Emmett - since it appears to suggest that forcing a quit saves changes to script properties and quits immediately (bypassing the script's quit handler):

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptLangGuide/AppleScript.e8.html

The ASLG is not talking about force quitting. It is talking about quitting with the shift key down, which bypasses the script application's "on quit" handler. In this case, properties are still saved.

Is there a way to trap this behavior? In my droplet, it could cause a disaster if properties were saved in the state they were in in the middle of a run. They absolutely have to be saved in their original (or "on quit" reset) state if I'm going to use them at all. Or else I need some other mechanism so a droplet can know if it is starting up the "on open" handler for the first time so it can reset the properties when first launched.
