     Thanks.  Looks like there's one guy on that thread who's pretty
vehement about EXIT_ON_CLOSE, but he just keeps saying it's evil and
doesn't explain why he thinks so.  Some of the other participants
specifically recommend EXIT_ON_CLOSE, so I guess the jury's still out.

     Differing opinions are a prerequisite for horse races.
