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.

Exit
Prompt whether each buffer is to be saved or abandoned. Then exit vEdit.

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.

Xall
Save all files without prompting and then exit.
Xall( ) does not save modified buffers that have no assigned filename, whereas Exit( ) will prompt for the filename. as a precaution, Xall( ) will prompt for a filename if the main buffer "1" has no assigned filename.

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.

Qall
Quit (abandon) all files and exit, it prompts for confirmation.
Qally
Quit (abandon) all files and exit without confirmation.
