RE: Prompt 5250 before close?

Rob is right, many people will close anyway. But there are two options under 'Edit', 'Preferences', 'Exit...': 'Confirm on Exit Session' and 'Confirm on Exit All'. They pop-up a dialog when someone exits that they really want to close. I use the 'Confirm on Exit Session' for myself. There are times when I'm clumsy and click the wrong icon while trying to minimize. Also, there are times when I don't realize the 5250 session has focus and try to exit another application. These options have saved me a number of times.

Would it make a difference or would they close it anyway? IOW, if it's that
critical, program for those who would close it anyway.

Is there any way to have ACS 5250 sessions prompt the user before closing?
It is an all-to-frequent occurrence that a user will click the window close
"X" and terminate a 5250 session. Many other apps prompt the user with
some kind of confirmation message. Does ACS have this?

ACS 1.1.8.4
