Intercepting shutdown attempts

[Alex Tweedly]

I have an app that needs to save some data before the app quits.

When the users quits from the menu (or shortcut), it's easy - but I 
can't seem to find out if they quit by clicking the 'close' ("X") box in 
the window decorations.  I read about "shutdown" and "shutdownrequest" 
messages in the docs - so I added handlers for those to the stack's 
script - but they don't seem to be invoked.

The stack script now looks like

on shutdown
  answer "shutdown"
end shutdown
on shutdownrequest
  answer "shutdownrequest"
end shutdownrequest

When I quit via the menu (which uses the "quit" command), it calls the 
shutdownrequest handler - but not when I click on the "close" ("X") icon.

Am I missing something obvious here ?
