Yes. The command required.quitapplication('emal') works just fine on my
machine. It sounds like you don't quite understand how easy debugging this
sort of thing is in Frontier. Type required.quitapplication('emal') into
QuickScript, hit Enter, and look what happens. If that doesn't work,
upgrade your version of Frontier. If it does, type mail.id into Quick
Script, hit Enter, and look what happens. I bet that Mail.id wasn't getting
you the right value, for the reason mentioned in my other note. m.
