You are right. I was not looking at the new exporter. For that matter, I 
did not understand how to invoke the new exporter in a Windows 7 set up.

That said, when I do load the new exporter as described in the release 
notes 7.9.2 on my system, the "q" key does not show on the dispatcher 
ui; however, pressing q does exit the dispatcher.

On my Cygwin setup (same machine) the export dispatcher does show q as 
quit or exit. I update the org files in Cygwin using git, usually once 
per day. I looked at org/lisp and find that the exporter is now 
ox-[name]. Is that correct?

Perhaps when the ox-[name] files become available in the org/lisp in Org 
8 this option will appear in a plain Windows set up (if there is such a 
thing).

I therefore conclude that someone has already suggested adding the line 
"q for quit", that it has been implemented in the bleeding edge and I 
over looked any messages to that effect and my research was poorly executed.

Best, Charlie
