I got no response from the doMenu command, so perhaps I needed to include the shortcut key in the name?
DoMenu is pretty limited in LiveCode. It was necessary in HyperCard because that language wasn't rich enough to build an entire IDE in, so the only way you could invoke some of the IDE features was through "doMenu" as a sort of catch-all.
In LiveCode of course the IDE is make in its own language, so anything you see in the IDE can be done more directly in your own stacks than having to rely on a generic catch-all.
If you do need to trigger an IDE menu item, you can dispatch a menuPick handler to the relevant menu button in revMenubar with the name of the menu item as its param.
But quit is very essential - every app needs it - so that's built right into the language with the "quit" command.
If you need to do any processing before the app actually quits, you can trap the shutdownRequest message.
