There is an external procedure available from ACIUS which will do what 
you want.  It is called QUIT4D, and it will quit to either the User environment
or to the Finder when called.

So, you would create a procedure "doQuit". In this procedure you would perform
your clean-up operations, and then call QUIT4D. Then associate "doQuit" with
the Quit menu item. There are other ways, but this should solve your problem.
You can call ACIUS to get QUIT4D, it is free.
