No luck with trapping QUIT in OSX

[Shari]

Putting the appleEvent handler in the frontScript didn't work.  I 
tried putting that appleEvent handler EVERYWHERE, to no avail.  It 
didn't work in the frontScript, the main stack script, the embedded 
(operating) stack script.  I'm guessing that the frontScript gets 
deleted before the message gets to it.

I tried trapping the closeStack and shutDown messages, to run my 
doQuit handler.  It works perfectly in Classic, as it runs thru the 
menuPick handler and is trapped there, but that blasted menu change 
the OSX makes, breaks it.  Seems to bypass every handler I've got.

I ran a test, to see if the shutDown and closeStack messages are 
called during this quit, and they are.  But the doQuit handler is 
not.  I tried inserting "send doQuit to cd fld 1 of cd 1 of stack 
sideStack" into the closeStack handler, and it did not run.  I am 
guessing that the global sideStack is deleted immediately during the 
quit sequence in OSX?  There are several handlers that are set to run 
at quit, to save a lot of data first.

Such a simple thing... to save your data before quitting.  Why does 
OSX make it so difficult??

(Because they are trying to copy WINDOZE)
