Thanks, Bert.

I just checked the latest Etoys version, and indeed found the code I was expecting in the image. Problem is, it doesn't ever get triggered under Windows. I tracked it back all the way down to the #primGetNextEvent: method in class EventSensor, and it just seems that a "type 5" (EventTypeWindow) event never gets signalled/polled. So, instead there's the VM-quit dialog again... :-(

I used the Etoys VM that was bundled with the download from SqueakLand (BTW, I had to rename the installer to *.exe, it didn't have a suffix to it, but then it worked beautifully and flawlessly).

Hey, that makes me remember: The Plopp VM apparently resolves the VM-quit dialog issue. Do you remember if you did anything special to it or is there some hidden aspect of the Win32 VM I'm unaware of?

Thanks!

I *think* the latest Etoys version from squeakland.org does this, but  
I do not use Windows so can't verify.
