Hi,
I know there is no way of being able to quit it all around, via the
kill command, I just want my program to not show up in the force quit
list when I do a cmd opt esc. I know there is a way to do this
somehow???

You can't prevent any process from being forced quit -- unless you
could find some way for the application to crash the whole machine.
That is, mutually assured destruction; "Don't quit me or I'll kill you
all! Bra ha ha ha ha ha ...." :/
There are ways in which you can catch, and ignore, the normal quit
signals (i.e. HUP) sent to a process (really bad programming), but
there is nothing that can stop a "hard" kill of a process. Which is,
I might add, the most important tenant of a solid multi-processing
system; That no one process can dominate, or wrest control of, the OS
in any way.
Besides, these are all low-level programming tricks. There's nothing
that you could possibly do from AppleScript that would any effect on
this.
