Oops - I realized that later when I caught up with all the email backlog ...

I kind of disagree. I don't think an application SHOULD be able to make the
IDE quit. For a stand-alone app, it makes sense to shutdown the app - but
in the context of the IDE, it should simply revert back to the IDE. I
could have all kinds of other things going on in the IDE, and it should not
be up to an individual stack to close the IDE down.
I expect the same situation would apply to the Player - if I start up the
player, and tell it to load/play stackA, then I would expect that when
stackA closed down, I'd be back in the player ready to try something else.
