I'm not sure about this (have set aside SuperCard in order to work on my
thesis), but my suspicion is that you have something in your project script
which traps the clover-Q and issues the close all windows command. This could
be left over from the automatic insertion of the runtime editor startup code
(which can toggled in SuperEdit preferences). 

If having this functionality is a problem, you could always trap the Clover-Q
yourself (if it is not a problem, ignore this).

I'm curious if my thought about why your clover-Q is enabled is right. I wonder
if my projects have this feature. Hmm. I'll look into it when I get time, but
if you could look at your project scripts and get back to me, I'd appreciate
it.

No pressure though.
