After my tests complete and the report prints, what is the proper (so as to not break anything) order of shutting down.

In the File menu, I see options for
Logout
Close Execution
Close All Sequence Files and Executions
Close Completed Executions

All ways of exiting are proper - it just depends on what you want to do:

Logout - changes can be saved and the Text editor
exits, but TestStand prompts for a new user

Close - changes can be saved and TestStand closes sequence file,
but the application keeps on running.

Exit - asks for changes to saved and exits from TestStand

Although I don't see the options you list in my File Menu,
I suppose it is just about the same thing - you have the
TestStand application and you can have many sequence files
opened and some of them may be executing. Chosing one of
your options wouldnt break anything (always chose for running
cleanup before after stoppin an execurion)

Cheers,

Andre

Are you using an operator interface with the UI controls?

If this is the case, you can simply call ApplicationMgr.Shutdown.

From the docs: Closes opened sequence files and executions. This method also releases the TestStand Engine.
