It does indeed work :) Let me try to explain a little better:

In a top-level, when you close from the title bar (like the 'X', or icon double-click, etc., two events fire, in this order:

Queryunload
Destroy

The 'X' closes the TL (or any other form), but you still have to stop the event processing with a CLEAR EVENTS somewhere. Either of the above two events will work for this. Try the CLEAR EVENTS in either place, you will see termination of form, event processing, and code following READ EVENTS in main program will continue to run.
