As I normally use XTree as my DOS shell it is usually running all the time, and I often just switch off the power when XTree is on the screen. While this does no harm it is not really good practice, for the Histories of the various commands used in the current session will not be updated. Far better to use Q (Quit). As a safeguard, XTree will normally ask for confirmation before quitting, but you can turn this off by altering the Configuration (Alt-F10).
Normally XTree will Quit into the directory from which you started the program. But if you wish to run another program straight from DOS, you may prefer to quit into its directory. To do this, select the directory either in the directory or file window and key Alt-Q.
The final way of exiting is only available in the most recent versions of XTree. This is to Zap, invoked by Alt-Z. All the currently logged information, including all taggings, is saved to disk, and will be read when you next start XTree. It saves a lot of time if you have a large hard disk with thousands of files, but if you have been computing outside XTree the information read in may be out of date.
