Hi Kevin,

Revolution doesn't automatically quit when the alst
window is closed, if there are any 'pendingMessages' -
these are messages that are put onto the event queue
to be executed at a later time:
    send "TickleMePink" to me in 10 seconds
Are you using any 'send in <time>' constructs?

If your application is just one window, you can make
your life easy and add the following message handler
to your stack script:
##
on closeStack
  -- we don't want to quit when we close the window
inside the IDE
  if the environment is not "development" then
    quit
  end if
end closeStack
##

This way, when your stack window is closed, the engine
will effectively quit, even if there are pending
messages.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel
