Exit Command [E/F8]
Exit from Qedit and return to the operating system.
EXIT [string]
The current workfile is closed and Qedit terminates. The F8 user key is the same as Exit.
To close the current workfile without exiting, use Shut.
When you Exit, Qedit checks whether you have any unsaved edits in any of your scratch files. If so, you are prompted to Discard? them, or stay in Qedit to save them.
Examples
/opt/robelle/bin/qedit
/open qedit.doc {open file to work on}
/modify 2482.5/ {do some editing...}

/exit {ready to quit for the day!}Notes
To avoid accidental Exit as a result of pressing F8 one time too many, you can run Qedit with the –v option. This forces user approval of Exit.
The string parameter is only allowed when Qedit is running as a server. The string is a message sent to the Qedit for Windows client. The client receives the exit notification, displays the message and disconnects immediately. If no string is specified, a default message is displayed.
