I am having the QUIT problem while in the Command window, just developing and testing--not while running a compiled app. I CLOSE and CLEAR everything in sight, but it still will not exit. I've been coding in FoxPro since 1990 and xBase before that, but I have just begun with VFP. This flavor of Fox is very different!

Try simply issuing ON SHUTDOWN in the command window to clear out any customized code you might have put in there while running or developing applications.
