This is about as basic as a question can get:
HOW DO YOU QUIT SUPERCARD? (if you don't have the run-time editor installed and
you want to quit from a script). The new version will have a quit-command said
the rumors, but how do you do it in old sc.

Even when I haven't specified it in my project's menu's, Clover-Q has always
performed a Quit operation.

If you want a hint, use SuperEdit to open the runtime library.  Check its FILE 
menu and see what it does when you select Quit.  Its rather obvious when you 
see it.

What is this - an adventure game? Use "Close all windows".

I'm not sure about this (have set aside SuperCard in order to work on my
thesis), but my suspicion is that you have something in your project script
which traps the clover-Q and issues the close all windows command. This could
be left over from the automatic insertion of the runtime editor startup code
(which can toggled in SuperEdit preferences). 

If having this functionality is a problem, you could always trap the Clover-Q
yourself (if it is not a problem, ignore this).

I'm curious if my thought about why your clover-Q is enabled is right. I wonder
if my projects have this feature. Hmm. I'll look into it when I get time, but
if you could look at your project scripts and get back to me, I'd appreciate
it.

No pressure though.
