I was able to make it work by adding an additional quit statement
after the repeat loops.
on shutdownRequest
put the openStacks into vOpenStacks
filter vOpenStacks with "*.ifw"
if the number of lines in vOpenStacks > 0 then
repeat for each line tLine in vOpenStacks
close stack tLine
end repeat
quit -- this is needed to also quit the standalone in Windows
end if
pass shutdownRequest
end shutdownRequest
So the extra Quit simply makes the standalone go through the filtered
openStacks again which is very fast because there aren't any more open.
Thanks to Sarah, Ken, and Trevor for help with this.

I have a standalone which opens other stacks that contain data.
There is a closeStack handler in each data stack that checks to see
if the stack needs to be saved and prompts the user. This works fine
if the user clicks the close window button but I also need to catch
this if the user selects Quit.
Trevor suggested that I put the shutdownRequest handler into a front
script which works. I put the shutdownRequest script in a hidden
button on the standalone and make it a front script. If I don't do
that it puts up my "Save" dialogs on the data stacks but then just
proceeds to quit anyway without waiting for the user to respond.
On the Mac it works perfectly in response to a Quit by properly
asking if the stacks that need saving should be saved. It cycles
through them and closes each stack and then quits the standalone.
On Windows it properly asks if the stacks that need saving should be
saved. However, after it cycles through them and closes each stack,
it leaves the standalone open. If I then Quit or close (click on X)
the standalone it quits correctly.
Here is the front script:
on shutdownRequest
put the openStacks into vOpenStacks
filter vOpenStacks with "*.ifw" -- checks to make sure it is a data
stack
if the number of lines in vOpenStacks > 0 then
repeat for each line tLine in vOpenStacks
close stack tLine
end repeat
end if
pass shutdownRequest
end shutdownRequest
Any idea why the Windows standalone doesn't quit when finished like
the Mac does?
