When all else fails.... ;-)



"How to respond to quitting an OS X application

On OS X systems, the "Quit" menu item is part of the Application menu,
which is displayed by the operating system rather than by the application.
Because of this, choosing "Quit" on OS X systems does not send a menuPick
message, so you cannot handle quitting in a menuPick handler.

Instead, choosing "Quit" sends an Apple Event (class "aevt", ID "quit") to
the application. If you don't intercept this Apple Event in an appleEvent
handler, Revolution sends a shutdownRequest message in response to the
Apple Event. To respond to the user choosing "Quit", handle either of these
messages.

Tip:  For easiest cross-platform development, place all the code you want
to execute on quitting in a shutdownRequest handler."
