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