When there is a "Read Events" being active, issuing "Clear Events" should be enough.
In addition, the QueryUnload() event of each active form will run, so that you can ask the user whether modified data shall be committed or reverted, and so on.

Additionally, you can scan the _scren.Forms collection to see whether there any modal forms running, e.g. in pseudo code:

Local loForm
For Each loForm in _screen.Forms
    If VarType(m.loForm) = 'O' And PemStatus(m.loForm,"YourShutdown",5)
        loForm.yourShutdown()
    Endif
Next

In other words, from a client-app point-of-view, the situation would be similar to a user clicking the upper-right X close button of the VFP main window _screen. (Or the close button of the main top-level form, when you have _screen.Visile=.F., respectively.)
