Welcome to the blackbox world where a simple feature request leads to 8 different ways to skin the proverbial cat that do not involve changing blackbox. I believe this would be a valuable addition. However it will not be the default action of 'exit'. A exitconfirm option should be added. This is a lot more polite to the end user and is expected behaviour. Please go to the sourceforge site and add a request for this item. If the site does not allow you to do so, please mail me.
