Version 1.0.6-1 of texmacs indicates there are unsaved files and asks
"Really quit?" when attempting to close a file to which modifications
have been made which is a good thing. However, it now also fills in the
default answer of "no" which must be removed when you really want to
close it anyway. When I use TeXmacs as a front-end for Maxima I often
use it as a scratch pad and am not interested in saving the results. I
would prefer the default not be added in but assume I would have to
modify the code controlling this default behaviour. If I change

(tm-define (safely-quit-TeXmacs)
  (dialogue
    (if (or (not (exists-unsaved-buffer?))
            (dialogue-confirm?
             "There are unsaved files. Really quit?" #f))
        (quit-TeXmacs))))

in /usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/progs/texmacs/texmacs/tm-server.scm to 

(tm-define (safely-quit-TeXmacs)
  (dialogue
    (if (or (not (exists-unsaved-buffer?))
            (dialogue-confirm?
             "There are unsaved files. Really quit?"))
        (quit-TeXmacs))))

will that safely eliminate the default behaviour of supplying "no"?
Alternatively, is it possible to add a button to the file menu to quit
without saving?

Thanks, Bob
