Warn before quit - anyone?

[Karl Becker]

Does anyone else have any ideas as to why my stack would not be pausing 
when I want to display a dialog before a program quits once someone 
selects Quit from the menu?  This is on OS X, too.  I have not been 
able to try it on OS 9 or Windows, though I'm guessing it's the same.

Thanks
Karl
