It happens as you say, when the close box is clicked. But the IDE traps 
the message so you may have to suspend development tools to see it. It 
will work as expected in a standalone.

I seem to remember that after the IDE traps the message, it then passes 
it. It may be that the debugger won't open when that happens; try a "put 
something" in the message box instead to see if it gets passed.
