On the ‘quitting’ issue: Google’d several searches, and found "Disable automatic application termination in OS X” from Mac OS X Hints of 08/02/12, with a first reference of Mac OS X (10.7). Contributed by paulbrainerd, and contains the Terminal command line to change the (general) feature mentioned.
