The READ EVENTS command will wait for user input. Your main program can be roughly considered to consist of three parts:
1. The setup code.
2. The single command READ EVENTS, a kind of endless loop that waits for user input.
3. Any cleanup code, once the user quits.
Somewhere - for example, from the menu command "File | Quit", you should give the command CLEAR EVENTS, which will break out of this "endless loop" and run the cleanup code.
By the way, the lack of a READ EVENTS will not only cause problems in the EXE; from the VFP IDE, you will see the Command Window while your program is running - it should normally not be visible.
