Application.MainForm.Close would cause a problem if MainForm was showing
other forms, especially modal ones.
You could try application.terminate or halt.
Halt is more aggressive in ending the application than terminate is.
Although good design requires that a global boolean be setup somewhere
"myTerminate" or something, and have all loops that have an
application.processmessages in them to check this variable and break the
loop when it is set.
