I created a simple project that uses a modal window. The quit execution works are stated in the docs even though the window is modal.
Which means I am doing something wrong. More investigating to do.

Forgot about this. Have used it in other unrelated code parts. That explains a lot (to me). Does anyone know of > sp;Which do you want? In any case, if you want custom control over the Quit menu item, then you should implement -validateMenuItem: on its target. However, you should generally avoid doing that because the Quit menu item should behave as user's expect. > > I think you need to step back and explain your high-level goal.
