There is *no* visual indicator to say if closing the window will also quit
the application. None.

Other than an alert that pops up in a properly designed app, you mean?

There is no alert that pops up to tell you the program will quit... there is
an dialog to give you a chance to save your document if needed.

LOL! Hire a reading tutor;) In a "properly designed app" there is such
an alert. What's even funnier here is that you obviously aren't aware
that "An alert is a dialog" ... and the dialog you just referenced is
what Apple calls the "Save Changes alert" as shown in Figure 14-46 here:

uidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_18_section_7.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000

Hint: That you can also "Save Changes" to your doc doesn't make the
dialog have non alert status... it "is" an alert... which is why Apple
references it as "The Save Changes alert". Oops!


You really have no clue with the discussion is about... it is very, very
clear.

Said the computer teacher who just proved beyond any reasonable doubt he
didn't know that an alert "is" a type of dialog.

Just so you know: Apple *does* have an indicator to tell you if your
document has not been saved: the dark dot in the red circle. Now you know!

I was already aware of that... I knew my example would confuse you;)


(cue up Snit's bogus, face saving attempt at spin)

Again, Steve: the question is not about a dialog that tells you to save
work... the question is about a dialog that tells you the program will
*quit*.

What is sad is I have repeatedly told you this and you *still* cannot
understand. You are, as ever, completely unable to understand what you
read.
