It doesn't in Windows proper, using Wing 101. It does exit in the
Windows command console. For some reason I forgot ctrl-C is Copy in
windows. I tried Ctrl-X but I was again confusing the old DOS abort
with Windows Cut. I've been enslaved by the GUI ;')

I'm using Wing 101, which doesn't have a feature set for altering that
behavior. It's probably in the professional version. If I scrape up
spare cash I may go for PyCharm or Wing Pro, but I don't need them on
the low end of the learning curve. I'd just waste time fooling with
them.

The program does exit in Idle, although Idle throws up a Tk screen
asking if you want to abort the program, so it's not a clean exit.
