Al:
Thank you so very much for taking the time to present such a detailed instruction list.
I appreciated that, as I'm not an advanced VFP programmer.

I had most of my settings pretty much as you listed them. Nevertheless I did set everything up EXACTLY
as you specified, and I'm still getting the same result... an EXE that will not die (until I reboot).

All my other apps compile and run (and close) perfectly...without this problem.
I've compared my form's properties with others I've used, and they match up ok.
So I'm thinking there has to be something else in that folder that's not allowing this app to die (some setting
or something else?).

As these things usually turn out... it has to be something really basic...simple.

The only thing that's different in this app from others I've written, is that it had complained ... wanting me to add
a header file (which I've never used before)... PRO4_app.h (in the OTHER/text files section of the PJX).
Accordingly, I added #INCLUDE C:\PRO4\PRO4_APP.H to the main.prg

I don't know why it was asking for this, but that's the only difference from previous apps.
