Son of a gun ... I didn't even know about that one!
I'll bet Glade has a lot of goodies people don't know
are there. Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, due to the lateness of the hour and the
presence of a quantity of Anheuser-Busch products, my
post somehow ended up embedded in someone else's. I
apologize for that.

My purpose was not so much to explain how to close a
program as to show the similarity between a GTK+
signal handler and a Visual Basic event procedure, for
the benefit of a programmer with some VB background
(of which I also have some).

I'll continue to keep reading and keep learning, and
will offer help when I can.
