Hi Howard,

Have you tried to 'start using' the mainstack of your
standalone ? When you create a new stack, it is its
own mainstack -- so when uncaught by the target stack,
the 'shutdownRequest' message would go straight to the
engine, bypassing your standalone mainstack.
Another method to ensure that it will get caught is by
putting the 'shutdownRequest' handler in a backscript.
It seems to work for me in the Quartam Reports layout
builder.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
