[texworks] texworks Digest, Vol 21, Issue 4

In my message about close and exit, perhaps one point was misinterpreted.
In a lame effort to be cute, i used the term microsoftesque. My reference
was
to Microsoft's propensity for making thing more complicated by trying to be
helpful.
(eg hiding file extensions). I meant no reference to specific behavior of
Word.
My request is that if one closes the last file, he gets the same blank
screen present when the
program starts. This way close just means close. What could be simpler or
clearer?
One can always use "quit" to exit the program.
