==============================================================================
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.
