[Mesquitelist] two easy questions I hope

[Wayne Maddison]

In any script, there is a current object to which scripting commands 
are being sent.  In your script, it appears that the current object 
is a tree window module.  You need to reset the current object to the 
root Mesquite module itself, so that you can tell Mesquite to quit. 
You reset the current object using the "tell" command.  Thus:

tell Mesquite;
quit;
endTell;

The first line changes the current object to Mesquite itself.

For your second question:  do you want to write the whole text in the 
panel?  At the moment, there isn't a way to do that.  We will enable 
it for the next release.
