error number -128 —- this error stops the script.
display dialog "You shouldn't see this"

That works, Ed. Thanks. I did it this way to make it a little more transparent::

on run

quit

display dialog "Hah Hah Hah! You can't kill me!"

end run

on quit

error number -128

end quit

I also wrote a routine to get the Process ID and kill it via "do shell script", but this is more direct.
