This will not work due to misinterpretation of the double-quote ending:

_vfp.DoCmd("_vfp.DoCmd('_vfp.DoCmd("_vfp.Quit")')")

while this will by using three different string indicators:

_vfp.DoCmd("_vfp.DoCmd('_vfp.DoCmd([_vfp.Quit])')")

I think it's a major breakthrough that will benefit no one. :-)
