Quit
This menu option exits Thing -- what else ;-) If one has activated saving 
configuration settings at program end with 'Extra' > 'Auto-save Config', 
one can prevent this by holding down a  Shift  key after confirming the
safety query in the final alert box.

Shutdown
When running Thing as a shell under MagiC 3 or newer, 'Quit' is replaced 
by 'Shutdown' for a 'clean' rundown before you turn off the system. This 
is very important to avoid loss of data when using MagiC's WBDAEMON. The 
program SHUTDOWN.PRG and its configuration file SHUTDOWN.INF must be 
installed in the start directory of Thing (both files are part of the
original MagiC distribution and can be found normally in the directory
C:\GEMSYS\GEMDESK\).

Alternatively one can also point the environment variable SDMASTER in 
MAGX.INF to the Shutdown program that Thing should use:

#_ENV SDMASTER=C:\GEMSYS\GEMDESK\SHUTDOWN.PRG

Replace this with your own path if different.
