    There is no globally set key in the ClassicWB packs - everything is set to default, so that must be F10 for most packs (although some seem to use print screen).

    If you want to change universal settings, go to Settings (top left corner menu) ->Startup->WHDLoad. There you can alter global options.

    The same settings can be found under the Launch menu->Settings->Startup or double clicking the WHDLoad.prefs file in the S directory.

    To set the quit key individually, put the option in the tool types.

    Just override the global setting in the game's tooltypes.

    I just prefer to leave it as default. The splash screen tells me which key is quit, and any others that have been mapped which sometimes is the case. I don't mind the screen appearing for a second or so.

    But it is useful to know that it can be set in the tooltypes.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    And I'm sure you prefer the term to appear in front of you instead of already knowing it right?

    The problem with having a globally set quite key is that if for example you have it set to F10 then some games will actually be using that key for some in game function. So it will clash. Leaving it as the default for each game/demo means this shouldn't occur.
