It should.  The exception is a bug I found (and reported, I believe...this
was back in March when I did the OneGate demo) that EXIT in a CALLed
table only acts like END.  If Ken says I didn't report that, I'd be happy
to make an official report if it's still outstanding.

But in plain old top-level input tables, yeah, it should exit the program.

Are you doing it from a CALLed table?  That would do it.  In that case, I
set an extern variable in the called linked to a global in the calling
table, and END the called, then check the results in the calling table and
EXIT from there if desired.
