I’m using: SWI-Prolog version : (threaded, 64 bits, version 8.1.17) on Windows10

I want to exit an stop correctly

But what I’m getting is: As soon as I use the edit command (from the menu or directly edit(xxx), i get the following messages :

 ![exit_pb](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/swiprolog/original/1X/bda759a7b3e733de314f20996e5e804455c88bd8.png)

and when I try to close the window I get the never ending messages :

 ![Exit_closing_main_window](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/swiprolog/original/1X/9cca95e99890fd349a843baf8e7e2600ecae5b41.png)

So I have to kill the process.

I certainly missed some installation directives …  
Thank you in advance for your help.

Jacques

This is fixed in the current source. You can install the daily version if you do not want to wait for the next release.
