How do you quit or close the game?

The team behind the award-winning game Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive early days of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris is the first in an innovative series of operational World War II wargames that also include a strategic element. The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris simulates Germany’s military successes in Poland and France in 1939 and 1940 (including also a hypothetical “Sea Lion” invasion of Great Britain).

Other than pressing the X (which I do not like doing) I can't find out how,

I don't think there's another possible way to quit the program, other then clicking the X.
Personally I don't have a probem with that, I use the - (minimize) quite a lot too, for checking the manual, or other things.

In the past many programs have not closed down correctly if the X is used, they have left code in the computers memory. I teach IT and we always tell students to close down correctly for this reason.

You're right, absolutely true. I remember that closing that way wasn't done, but wasn't that the case with the first versions of Win? Win3.1. Win95. I found it .... not much of an improvement back then, thought DOS was better... [:D] Nowadays I do a lot of multitasks, mimizing, maximizing, cutting/pasting, deleting, scanning and so on, and even clicking an X-it now and then, not much of a problem these days.... I think. [;)]

Actually its not a form "X". It just looks like one. No worries. And also if you click it you go back to the main menu and can use the "quit" button from there.
