pquit

User Level Required: interpreter

Command Syntax:

)pquit

Command Description:

This command is used to terminate Axiom and return to the operating system. Other than by redoing all your computations or by using the )history )restore command to try to restore your working environment, you cannot return to Axiom in the same state.

)pquit differs from the )quit in that it always asks for confirmation that you want to terminate Axiom (the ``p'' is for ``protected''). quit When you enter the )pquit command, Axiom responds

Please enter y or yes if you really want to leave the interactive
environment and return to the operating system:

If you respond with y or yes, you will see the message

You are now leaving the Axiom interactive environment.
Issue the command axiom to the operating system to start a new session.

and Axiom will terminate and return you to the operating system (or the environment from which you invoked the system). If you responded with something other than y or yes, then the message

You have chosen to remain in the Axiom interactive environment.

will be displayed and, indeed, Axiom would still be running.
