Well, if I recall correctly, quit was always there, but took you all the
way out. Halt used to originally literally halt the work, and the bug (at
least back in v4), or feature, was that it just stopped everything, and
didn't call stopMovie. Over the years, somewhere, it got to where it would
also call stopMovie, and now they're basically the same, the only
difference that quit throws you out of Director entirely and halt
doesn't. As far as I'm concerned, quit is useless, now that we have halt.
Of course, my favorite is 'shutdown', but that's another story... :)
