Is there some reason why a debug app stays in the Task Manager processes list when an error occurs? (when you run it externally from the IDE) Is it because it's looking for the IDE or something?

This is a shame as I'd like to be able to send people a debug app to get more meaningful error messages (this works already with some code I have), but if it doesn't shut down automatically they'll have to manually kill it themselves when it freezes.

try this compiled as a debug app and compare to a non-debug app:

Graphics 400,300

Local divisor = 0
Local result = 10/divisor


While Not KeyHit(Key_ESCAPE)
	Cls
	DrawText result,0,0
	Flip
Wend



If anyone knows, prey tell. Thanks!
