[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] Workbench.library count?

kws1x@krebs.acc.Virginia.EDU (Kenneth W. Smith Jr) (01/19/91)

	Hello, fellow Netters!
	I have yet another interesting problem...(Is this all this
guy posts?  Geez.....:)  For a while, I was able to remove the 
Workbench screen while in 2.0 on my A3000.  Now, with no other processes
or programs running, it gives me the following error when I try to
"quit" from the WB:  "Cannot quit.  workbench.library open count = 2"
	In short, what do I need to do to reset/fix this problem?
There are times when I want to close the WB and use that memory for other
things, but this error stops me.  Oh, please, oh, please help!
	Any help is appreciated.  Thanx in advance.

	K W Smith, Jr.

Workbench cannot quit when any programs launched by it are still active.
Workbench needs to wait for those programs to exit.  This includes anything
you start by double-clicking an icon, or anything in the WBStartup
drawer.  Also, anything that adds an AppMenu, AppWindow, or AppIcon is
counting on Workbench staying around.  You have two programs that were
started by Workbench or use App... features.  Quit those before you
can close Workbench down.
