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. Pete On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 12:52 PM, J.
