Hi all
There is one thing that always forget to ask about and that is, when I shut down and I am presented with the dialogue box to "Save" & "No Save", I would like another option to be included.
This would be the ability to "Cancel" and return to my desktop.
Many a time, I have decided to shut down and then realised I had forgotten to do something.
Is this easily enough to incorporate?

We'll have to look at what stage the save or not save prompt is presented. Might be a "cancel" option could be added easily if the shutdown process has not closed some things.
Definitely a good idea though and will be looked at.
It's the final blue screen which gives you the options.
I'm guessing everything by that time is being killed in the background.
Looking at the rc.shutdown script, the default screen is presented far too late.
Many processes have been killed already.
However there is support for a variable $RAMDISK_SAVE_SESSION, that appears to be set outside rc.shutdown, probably before rc.shutdown.
Whatever it is that is supposed to write the file containing the $RAMDISK_SAVE_SESSION might be running in an environment that would support "Cancel".
I guess that's still a maybe.
