I guess I'm not as paranoid ... I just exit to finder.  After probably
scores (hundreds?) of exits like this I've had absolutely no trouble.
On the other hand, I haven't ever needed to do this while mucking with
files; maybe I've just been lucky.  (Actually, I really exit to SkipFinder;
that reminds me, I need to send Darin some money for it...).  Thanks for
the warning; I'll be careful about not restarting if I've been writing on
the disk.
