Close Closes the window, leaving the
other windows in the application.
Removes the primary and
associated secondary windows
from the workspace, in
applications that have more than
one primary window. Closing the
last primary window of an
application causes the
application to exit. If data will be
lost, the application must prompt
users to save changes. The Close
menu item from the File menu
should have the same effect as
the Close menu item from the
Window menu.
Exit Saves file and shuts down
application.
Shuts down application, and
prompts for saving if the current
version has not been saved.
