VAXTPU QUIT — VMS 5.2

 QUIT

    Ends the editing session without writing an output file.

 Syntax

    QUIT [{ OFF | ON} [,severity]]

 Parameters

    OFF        Tells VAXTPU not to check if any buffers have been modified.

    ON         Tells VAXTPU to check if any buffers have been modified
               before quitting.  This is the default.

    severity   An integer specifying the severity for the TPU$_QUITING
               status code returned by TPU$CONTROL.  The default is
               success.

 Comments

    If you do not specify the OFF keyword, then on quitting, if you have
    modified any buffers that have not been SET (NO_WRITE,...), the
    following prompt appears:

       Buffer modifications will not be saved, continue quitting (Y or N)?

    If you want to quit (ending the editing session and discarding your
    edits), enter Yes.  If you want to continue the editing session, enter
    No.  If no buffers have been modified, QUIT ends the session without
    prompting you.

 Examples

    1.  QUIT (OFF);

        Ends the session, and does NOT check if any buffers have been
        modified.

    2.  The following example shows the use of QUIT at the end of a command
        file used to create a section file:

                 .
                 .
        POSITION (main_window);
        tpu$local_init;
        user$define_keys;
        SAVE (mysecfile.tpu$section);
        QUIT;
