Hello. Sometimes, you can hit Command+w to close the window of the application you are in. Then you can hit Command+q. If I am in a web site that I don't want Safari to remember the next time I start it, I hit Command+w to close that window. Then, I hit command+q to close the actual application. If I do that, the next time I start Safari, it starts on the home page, which is Google in my case. I would think you could use Command+w with other applications besides Safari.
