Looks like I was wrong on this one. In the OSX Preferences window, the active tab is set to a dark grey, while the inactive tabs are light grey. In Safari, Firefox, and other programs, the active tab is light and the inactive tabs are darker. Weird. Oh well, my bad. The Tabbed control in

That only happens in the IDE, you can lock messages before quitting. Or, what I usually do from the message box: delete this stack. (Or you can use the menu option to remove from memory.) Then a regular quit doesn't ask. On December 9, 2014 11:25:36 AM CST, Bob Sneidar
