Say yes, and create a standard menu with the first item being "Quit" or "Exit", then code for it.
People who don't have to deal with "Marketing" often don't realize that "Development" frequently can't tell them anything they don't want to hear...
Free advice:
Tell them that Palm applications DO NOT HAVE "Quit" menu items.
Yeh sure, try it once then just code it. Real easy to handle, and a lot easier than fighting with "Marketing"
Go to their office, hand them a Palm, and ask them to find a "Quit" menu item in any of the applications on it.
Hopefully they won't go the launcher screen (on the Palm), pull down the (say) "Info" menu option and then ask just how to get out of that without tap'ing on the "Done" button. This seems to apply to to any of the functions provided under the "App" menu item, including "Beam", "Delete", "Send", etc.
Yeh fine, it doesn't say "Quit" or "Exit", but the "Done" button is the only way to leave some standard Palm OS programs. Yeh, and I know they probably aren't really programs, they just look that way to the user.
