I am not sure, but perhaps you should include a CLEAR EVENTS. In other words: Your ON SHUTDOWN invokes a function, which may include CLEAR EVENTS, QUIT, and perhaps eventually some additional cleanup before the QUIT.

>The ON SHUTDOWN should end the EXE and pull it from system memory, but it doesn't. I first noticed this when I tried to rename the EXE and the OS wouldn't let me. I inspected Windows Task Manager and sure enough the bugger was still in memory. I killed it with Task Manager, but I need to know how to well and truely end the app.
