I'd like to sort this out too so that TclTk can also exit GRASS *if* a user
wants to do so. There has already been some discussion along these lines a
month back or so.

When you exit the GIS Manager GUI it takes you back to the GRASS 'shell'.
But I *think* the 'shell' AND gis_set.tcl is operated inside a loop in
init.sh. When you type "exit" (or gis_set.tcl exits) it exits the loop and
also exits the 'shell'.
