Trapping Command-q

[Marty Knapp]

In my experience, trapping for a quit message on OS X is not reliable. 
It works most of the time, but not all of the time. Ken's method, which 
my previous post referred to, is the only method that I've found to be 
reliable. Specifically, his "Brute force" method. (He details 2 methods 
on his site.)
