There has been a lot of correspondence on this one so it obviously is considered of some importance. I too have been involved with computers for longer than I care to remember, both as programmer, trainer and user. I assume that the writers of Abiword are hoping that the program will be used by as many people as possible. If so then the majority of those users, I suggest, will just want to use the computer as a tool to get a job done. They will not be interested in the niceties of programming. I maintain that these users will be confused by the way 'Close' will shut down the program when there are no more documents open, confused and irritated. If you want to keep them loyal then you must change this so that 'Close' works only on documents and 'Exit' is used only as the final command when all jobs are finished. (To see how this works, in two slightly different ways, look at Wordperfect or MS Word). This may not be how the purists want it but, without wishing to be impolite, there are not so many of them. IMHO for what it's worth this is the way forward if you want Abiword to succeed. I hope no one will take offence at all this, I want Abiword to be really successful and I worry that too many potential users will be lost due to the way 'Close' works at the moment. We do all want the program to work in the real world, don't we?
