"save before quit" is a strange concept in Palm. In general, we try to avoid this in
the UI. Save on edit is implicit is the built in apps, for example. But note however
that in most "details" dialogs the default button (invoked when an appStopEvent comes
in) is the 'cancel' button.
Why not find a way to do away with your "save before quit" dialog entirely and solve
the problem that way?
I don't think you should get in the habit of ignoring appStopEvents. Virtually all of
the time these will be happening for legitimate reasons... users don't often hit
buttons unintentionally. :-)
