And even easier would've been to try simply changing the _mfi_quit, which didn't work, to _mfi_close, that did. Whne that worked, then try to track down what the difference in behaviors was from a pragmatic perspective.

It may be obvious to you, but it's not to me. I don't see anyting that tells me what it does when it's called. I don't want to argue about it anymore. It works now and I don't feel like investing the energy into figuring out why the quick menu didn't work. I got enough to worry about with going under the knife tomorrow and I'm too touchy to deal with your attitude.

Thanks for your help,
