+A.19. )quit
+==============================================================================
+
+User Level Required: interpreter
+
+Command Syntax:
+
+ - )quit
+ - )set quit protected | unprotected
+
+Command Description:
+
+This command is used to terminate OpenAxiom and return to the operating system.
+Other than by redoing all your computations or by using the )history )restore
+command to try to restore your working environment, you cannot return to
+OpenAxiom in the same state.
+
+)quit differs from the )pquit in that it asks for confirmation only if the
+command
+
+)set quit protected
+
+has been issued. Otherwise, )quit will make OpenAxiom terminate and
+return you to the operating system (or the environment from which you
+invoked the system).
+
+The default setting is )set quit protected so that )quit and )pquit behave in
+the same way. If you do issue
+
+)set quit unprotected
+
+we suggest that you do not (somehow) assign )quit to be executed when you
+press, say, a function key.
