Application quit on OS X

OK, thanks Mark and Jacque.  It sounds like the shutdownRequest message
will do the job - if I don't pass it, the application should stay open.
 I'll have to figure out how to deal with the user selecting Quit from the
Application menu, or the user shutting down their computer since I really
do need to quit then.  Plus there are some cryptic comments in the
dictionary about "some care required" to implement this correctly by
installing a library or backscript.

This just seems overly complicated to deal with a pretty standard way of
working for OS X applications.
