Hi Derick,
I'm confused by this, since earlier in the thread Tim responded with examples showing how the
behavior of exit() can still be observed and correctly handled. If that didn't address your
issue, can you explain it further? It seems like right now everyone is left bewildered about what
functionality you couldn't replicate.
Kind regards,
Theodore
