I re-read your question... Are you trying to terminate a program
that you're writing?

Return from PilotMain(). That's the only condition under which your
app can ever stop (barring a crash).

Often it's safest and easiest to enqueue an appStopEvent for
yourself. That way whatever is already in the queue will get processed
(by your own event loop) before the event loop quits due to seeing
an appStopEvent.

So, that would look something like this:

EventType stopevent;

MemSet (& stopevent, sizeof (EventType), 0);
stopevent.eType = appStopEvent;
EvtAddEventToQueue (& stopevent);

Another thing you can do is use SysUIAppSwitch() to switch to
another app, but that's only appropriate if you know which
other app you wish to switch to.
