Agreed.  See QUED/M's use of a modeless dialog which allows selection of
multiple files, etc.

And thanks to those of you who mailed me tips on how to add command-Q,
but the point I was trying to make (poorly!) was not what key should be
used, but that the Shutdown menu item, functioning like the Quit menu
item in a program, seems more natural on the File menu than on Special...
and could probably be renamed to Quit, as well.
