+A.18. )pquit
+==============================================================================
+
+User Level Required: interpreter
+
+Command Syntax:
+
+ - )pquit
+
+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.
+
+)pquit differs from the )quit in that it always asks for confirmation that
+you want to terminate OpenAxiom (the ``p'' is for ``protected''). When
+you enter the )pquit command, OpenAxiom responds
+
+ Please enter y or yes if you really want to leave the interactive
+ environment and return to the operating system:
+
+If you respond with y or yes, you will see the message
+
+ You are now leaving the OpenAxiom interactive environment.
+ Issue the command axiom to the operating system to start a new session.
+
+and OpenAxiom will terminate and return you to the operating system (or the
+environment from which you invoked the system). If you responded with
+something other than y or yes, then the message
+
+ You have chosen to remain in the OpenAxiom interactive environment.
+
+will be displayed and, indeed, OpenAxiom would still be running.
