Hello.

I just wanted to add to this thread that if there is some kind of cleanup required before the
eventual app quits, then measure should be taken as described in Applescript The Definitive Guide 2nd Edition. As I can't find the book at the moment ;-) you better find it online at Google,
and search for "Paul Berkowitz", since he was the guy inventing the method for overcoming the problems. This technique of his really works when you need to quit gracefully.
