\description{
The function \code{quit} or its alias \code{q} terminate the current \R
session.
\code{save} must be one of \code{"no"}, \code{"yes"},
or \code{"ask"}.
In the first case the workspace is not saved, in the second
it is saved and in the third the user is prompted and can also decide
\emph{not} to quit.

Immediately \emph{before} terminating, the function \code{.Last()} is
executed if it exists.
}
\seealso{\code{\link{.First}} for setting things on startup.
