        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

	If I have understood correctly, You want to close YOUR
	APPLICATION without any queries from windows. This can be
	easily done by including WM_CLOSE as you have mentioned.
	The sample piece of code will be:-

	  case WM_CLOSE :
		....
		....        /* Getting Ready for Closing application*/
		PostQuitMessage(0);
		break;

	The above code will close that window. If this code is
	available in the main window, this will close your
	application. I prefer a query to be included before
	closing (ie. before PostQuitMessage(0)).

	If you want your program to exit out of windows itself, You
	can try FatalExit(0). 
		   HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS? 
	Is it common to use this function in a standard application. 
	I have used this in our SQA testing version so that we can 
	automate testing.

	I am not sure what you are trying to explain about write and
	notepad.
