Thanks for clarifying,  I have everything working well now in my real program,   I didn’t need to do anything other than save and close some files, so I have plenty of time to get everything done.

Thanks!    That was quite helpful!   I have a test program kind of working.  

I notice I only  get 5 seconds to do what I am going to before it closes, and I also notice that my program can no longer respond to keystrokes after I hit the red X.    How do other programs get around this?  For example if I open word for windows and type something and hit the X it asks if I want to save it and will wait indefinitely  for a response.   Is this a limitation because I am running console application,    Is there a way I can do this with my console application as well

 

Correct, that is a limitation of the console no matter the operating system. 

 

Regards, 

Sven
