Paul,

You can send an escape sequence (esc&oF RCLcommand) to the session, which
Reflection will act upon, to execute an RCL command. The RCL command EXIT
will close the Reflection window or EXIT to DOS in those versions. It could
be done in a user's logonudc if it contains the BYE command in it:

LogonUDC
option logon
file ...
continue
run menuprog
setvar _esc,chr(27)
echo !_esc&oFexit
bye

If you really wanted to get fancy you could customize the system catalog for
the logoff banner (CPU=1. Connect=1. FRI, APR 17, 1998,  8:59 AM.
esc&oFexit) The really nice thing with this method is that you know the BYE
command was executed before the session logs off. The down side is having to
customize it again each time the operating system is updated.

It would be nice if there was an OPTION LOGOFF type of UDC to correspond
with OPTION LOGON. It would also be nice if there was a SYSSTOP file that
was invoked during a =SHUTDOWN. I'm not sure how the timing of it would work
but it would be nice nonetheless.
