The Exit command is identical to clicking File then Exit and exits vEdit after prompting whether each modified buffer (file) is to be saved or abandoned.
To save all files and exit quickly without any prompts, use the Xall( ) command. It is equivalent to clicking File then Exit followed by selecting Save all.
If you want to quit (abandon) all files and exit, use the Qall( ) command. It is equivalent to clicking File then Exit followed by selecting Quit all.
Think of the "Y" in Qally( ) as answering "Yes" to the confirmation prompt. Use it with caution!
