This code (wait window) is never executed.

Here is exactly what I have

 DO SomeManager_menu.mpr

    ON SHUTDOWN DO mgr_click_shutdown
    DO FORM Some_Toolbar			&&display toolbar
    DO FORM BrowserForm NOREAD
    DO FORM Data_Path NOREAD

    USE IN SELECT('LOCKOUT')
    oAppObj.PollLockout_Start()

    READ EVENTS							&&this is where it all happens!
    MESSAGEBOX("Current shutdown: "+ON("shutdown"))

This messagebox is never displayed when I try to close the application with the close button.
