Hi,

When I have a tk window open and I close it with the close (X) button up in 
the corner (Windows 98), Tk.mainloop returns and the program continues 
execution.  (Of course, there usually is no more program, but never mind 
that for the moment.)  However, if I click a button with command {proc 
exit}, the whole ruby program stops right there... do not pass GO, etc.

Does anyone know why this is?  Can I close my tk window and have Tk.mainloop 
return to the rest of the program nicely without clicking the "X" button?  
What happens when I click the "X" button?

Thanks,

Chris
