What am I doing wrong with macPython2.0?

I type the following into the IDE and save as an Applet.



"""Exiting/Quitting an applet
	an example of how NOT to do it.
"""
import sys
import os



def main():
	forkIt = ""
	quitter = "quit"
	
	if forkIt != "do it":
		sys.exit
		print "why does this line print?"

	if quitter == "quit":
		quit
		print "why do either of these lines print?"
	

if __name__=='__main__':
	main()
	
print
print
print " This line should not print either."
print " Don't forget to quit this window.................."
