Maybe he refers to the option to abort the close request programmatically in an event based approach.
Something like that UI close event is handled and triggers a "QuitSmalltalkRequested" event (or announcement) with a boolean value holder as argument, if no one handling such event/announcement vetoed the request, then it continues to normal shutdown. Dolphin Smalltalk uses that approach, see SessionManager >> queryEndSession at [1] [1] https://github.com/dolphinsmalltalk/Dolphin/blob/master/Core/Object%20Arts/Dolphin/Base/SessionManager.cls Regards, Esteban A.
