QUIT|END
Q|E

The command QUIT leaves the editor. Before that action happens, it is checked whether you made changes in your workfiles and have not saved them yet. If that is the case, you are informed on it and you have the chance to continue the exaEdit session, for example to save your changed workfiles onto the disk.

If there is only the workfile MAIN in your exaEdit session, you get the message

In line mode, the second line is:

If there are some other workfiles as well, the first line of the message reads as follows, instead:

In the window, the ... are replaced by the names of the workfiles.

If you decide not to save the changes, you simply press the key `j' or `y' (small or capital letters) and the editor immediately finishes its work. In opposition to this, if you hit any other key, the execution of the command QUIT is aborted and you can go on editing as usual.

Please note, that for answering this question it is sufficient to simply hit one key; it is not necessary to press the return key.
