A friend wrote a FORTH under ProDOS 8 and hooked up most of the MLI functions.
However, one thing I have with all the other applications I use, is a 
way to Quit, back to whatever program launched it (I use Mousedesk by
the now defunct VersionSoft).  

The ProDOS tech ref man (the version I have came with ProDOS 1.0)
doesn't mention anything about this- in fact, it says that you have
to write code that asks the user what application they want to quit
to- this is rediculous because it's obvious that AppleWriter, Works,
Access //, Ascii Express, AppleSloth (the new version) all do this
automatically.

How is this managed?   Who remembers the calling program's directory
and system file name?  What's the MLI call if it is one, or how's it done
otherwise?  Thanks a lot, guys!
