I think of exit as more final; but in any case, I don't think it matters 
that much, because this is not what the behavior is anyway. I can add a 
chime/RasMol note, perhaps.

Actually, I think "quit" is the same in both. "Quit" definitely exits 
all nested scripts. Nothing in Jmol stops "just the current level", and 
Rasmol doesn't have the capability to queue scripts. So I would argue 
that quit works the same as in RasMol, and exit, sort of like exiting 
"the program" stops all queued scripts.

Maybe Tim or Frieda can confirm this -- the nesting business. I guess I 
don't actually know if I'm right, but what I say above is certainly the 
intended behavior.
