Trapping Command-q

[Marty Knapp]

Hey Jason,

I fought with this for some time myself on my OS X standalones, and 
finally ended up with commandkeyDown handler for everything I needed, 
except the quit routine, then stumbled on Ken's fix which has been 100% 
for that part. It's a pretty good solution, all-in-all.
