Standalone app will not shutdown in task manager

Hi.
I built a small test app with the latest version of Runrev and executed the exe. I then closed the exe down and tried to delete it but it was stuck in memory. I had to open up task manager manually shut it down so I could delete it. Why is this happening?

If stack is closed while the pending message queue is not empty, standalone usually remains in memory.

try something like this when the app closes::

on closeStack
repeat until the pendingMessages is empty
cancel item 1 of line 1 of the pendingMessages
end repeat
end closeStack

cheers

Many thanks again!
