[Tkinter-discuss] Redefine quit menu item on Mac to quit from a Twisted/Tkinter application?

[Russell Owen]

Slightly cleaner, I agree, but your suggestion is very similar and  
works well. I switched.

I had never heard of ::tk::mac::Quit before, but I see your wiki entry  
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/12987> mentions it along with some others.
