You are right. I was not looking at the new exporter. For that matter, I
did not understand how to invoke the new exporter in a Windows 7 set up.
That said, when I do load the new exporter as described in the release
notes 7.9.2 on my system, the "q" key does not show on the dispatcher
ui; however, pressing q does exit the dispatcher.
On my Cygwin setup (same machine) the export dispatcher does show q as
quit or exit. I update the org files in Cygwin using git, usually once
per day. I looked at org/lisp and find that the exporter is now
ox-[name]. Is that correct?
Perhaps when the ox-[name] files become available in the org/lisp in Org
8 this option will appear in a plain Windows set up (if there is such a
thing).
I therefore conclude that someone has already suggested adding the line
"q for quit", that it has been implemented in the bleeding edge and I
over looked any messages to that effect and my research was poorly executed.
Best, Charlie
