That's what I suspected; the stacks aren't actually substacks. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

The dictionary says this (from LC 6.7.5):

In standalones, some care is needed to ensure you receive the
*shutdownRequest* message if your application uses multiple stacks. The
most reliable approach is to install a library stack or backscript to
handle the message when your application starts up.

I couldn't get this to work, so I went with Martin Koob's solution, which
did work. Note that this refers to multi-stack standalones.

is it not the case that the message path goes from substacks

Yes, that's how it should work. I've been wondering why the extra handlers
in substacks were required, I've never needed to do that and my apps have
always quit. I'd say go with the simpler solution and if that doesn't work
then we can figure out why.
