close browser of a web standalone?

Greetings,

Is it possible for a Web standalone (i.e., a Revolution stack running via the browser plugin) to not only "quit" the application but close the browser window it's running in?

Currently, the "quit" command just freezes the current card in the browser's window.

I've been exploring shell commands, but have not yet found anything that will accomplish this.

Thanks,

Steve Alessi

I had to so a similar task in straight JavaScript recently (no plugin) and as far as I could turn up it's only possible to close a window from JavaScript if that window was opened by JavaScript (as opposed to the user opening a new window). This may be for security reasons.
