Can't quit Rev - things to look for?

I am addicted I confess! Try as I might - I just can't quit. It's not just a
case of will power - most usually I leave the computer sleeping and Rev open
and make a regular svn backup of everything before I go to bed - or watch
Liverpool loose.... but recently I have been taking the precaution of
actually shutting down the computer - only to find that my beloved
Revolution will not let me quit?

I can work, save do everything but quit. Is this a plot by RunRev I here you
ask, to make us all do nothing other than use their IDE? No.... I think I
have done something wrong, and am being punished for it. Most likely it is
an external loaded, which won't let the stack close until it is unloaded....
but where and which one? It seems that manually opening each stack and
closing it allows me to quit, but I got very, very bored after the 30th
stack and still not able to quit.

Perhaps I need to write a script to run through the open stacks and find out
where the problem is? There can be anywhere between 25 and 50 in memory.
While I am on the question can someone help me with the difference between
an external package, and an externals... etc. Bundles OK - but what is a
package?
