'Quit' mystery

[Howard Bornstein]

The dictionary says this (from LC 6.7.5):

In standalones, some care is needed to ensure you receive the
*shutdownRequest* message if your application uses multiple stacks. The
most reliable approach is to install a library stack or backscript to
handle the message when your application starts up.

I couldn't get this to work, so I went with Martin Koob's solution, which
did work. Note that this refers to multi-stack standalones.
