Quit 3
A Quit command is a request to quit the Finder application. The Finder’s Quit
command is similar to the one described in the AppleScript Language Guide,
except that the Finder ignores the parameters recognized by most other applica-
tions. You can’t tell other processes to quit from within a Tell statement
addressed to the Finder.
When you quit the Finder, any icons on the desktop and any Finder windows
that are currently visible disappear.
