Printing Crashes Rev in OSX

[Frank Leahy]

(I know others will chime in too, but...) If there's no "break" 
statement, Transcript falls through until it either finds one, or the 
end of the switch statement is reached.

switch (foo)
  case "a"
     do_a
   case "b"
     do_b
   case "c"
     do_c
     break
   case "d"
     do_d
end switch

if foo = "a", then RunRev will execute do_a, do_b and do_c.  It then 
hits the "break" statement in case "c" and falls out of the switch.

So in your case, the print case was true, it executed the print lines, 
you didn't have a "break" statement so it continued executing.  It 
ignored the quit case, and executed the quit statements.

Does that help?
