Microstation v8i: Is there any way to disable the annoying "This will exit microstation" nag screen that pops up if I exit by clicking the X in the top right hand corner? My mental response is usually along the lines of "Gosh, will it? I never knew that."

That's the message I'm getting, but I'm using v8i. MS_EXIT is undefined. I also had it on v8, on two different sysytems.
(edit - sorry, that's the respone to Andrew Bell's post)

If this is occurring in your current MicroStation V8i and previous versions of V8 then it would have to be a customization setting defined within your workspace when you login to MicroStation. I would suggest using the default workspace to see whether the settings is located as a configuration and as to whether this message still appears.
It would also be helpful if you could supply a debug file for when you start up MicroStation V8i. This would show whether you have any customizations affecting this operation.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks for the suggestion, which led me to find the source of the problem, if not the solution:
I tried using a new user in the workspace, and found that I didn't get the exit alert. I then went through my personal ucf file, commenting out each line at a time until I found the variable that caused the problem. The line in question is MS_USECOMMANDWINDOW = 1 - if that is removed I don't get the exit alert. Unfortunately it also means I don't get the command window, and I use that a lot. I suspect that the command window and exit alert are in some way inextricably linked, so it's something I'll have to live with.
Thanks to all for you help. Debug file attached in case anyone can come up with other suggestions.
