Sorry Raines, but a DA's 'ability' to alert the user that he will lose
data on a close ('Do you wish to Save...') has NOTHING to do with the system.
A DA must be programmed specifically to support something called the (yes,
really) Goodbye Kiss. When a DA is closed by either the user (click in close
box) or by the system (application closing or shutdown) then the DA gets this
'kiss' from the system - if the DA recognizes it, then it SHOULD do the proper
clearnup/shutdown - it it doesn't know about the kiss, bye bye data...
