<I am making a screensaver for Windows OS by changing the ".exe" extension
of
my Rev Standalone to ".scr".  It works great and displays as expected>

Neat.

<but it does not quit after a mouse movement or key command.  Does anyone
know the
function or call sent out by Windows to the .scr to trigger the screensaver
to quit?>

Isn't it the responsibilty of your app to quit if a key is pressed or the
mouse moves, rather than the OS'?

Maye you just need:

on mousemove
quit
end mousemove

on keydown whichKey
quit
-- and maybe a pass in here someplace
end keydown
