My thanks to Emmanuel Huybrechts, George Tasker and especialy
nigel Coates and Ed Rauh whose detailed instructions only I
could have messed up on the first try. Here is an exact cut
and paste of what I used. The answer to the question of why
I was doing this is that I want this program to do this long
update at the end of the day and then turn itself off so that
the clients can go home without waiting for it to finish. Now
that update is running from the start folder but ties up the
the beginning of the morning.

DECLARE SHORT ExitWindowsEx IN Win32API;
INTEGER nShutDownMode,;
INTEGER nReserved
Declare Integer ExitProcess IN Win32API;
Integer ExitCode
#DEFINE ShutdownFlagValue0
#DEFINE ShutdownFlagValue1
#Define ShutdownFlagValue2
ON SHUTDOWN nResult=ExitProcess(0)

nMyReturnValue=ExitWindowsEX(1,0)
