Sean,

When developing a fairly large application it is just not always feasable to
Exit the application gracefully when debugging. For example, often times I
am stepping way down deep into code when I come accross an obvious codeing
error that I simply fix on the fly, kill the app and re-start to check the
fix. Now if I were to continue running the app until I can get back to a
main menu to exit gracefully, for the 300th time in a day I would get very
little done in a day. Also, in my app, the Exit menu fires a bunch of code
that saves state to the registry and sometimes I want to avoid that - plus
it is time consuming.

thanks,

JIM
