Virgil,

Yes, the same thing works in Windows -- you make the same changes. You
may have to search for your AbiWord.Profile file -- mine is
C:\Windows\Abisuite\AbiWord.Profile.

Here is the text of an email I sent to someone else recently explaining
the changes to make to that file:

There is currently not a real GUI option to change the behavior on
AbiWord close -- you must modify the configuration file.

My configuration file is C:/Windows/AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile.

You need to edit the file as follows (with something like Notepad -- a
plain text editor) and then save the file:

1. See if you have a Scheme named "_custom_" -- if you do, add a line
'CloseOnLastDoc="0"' as shown below. If you don't have a scheme named
custom, you will have to create one -- you can see what mine looks like
-- it is in the file after the builtin scheme but before the Recent and
Geometry sections.

        <Scheme
                name="_custom_"
                CloseOnLastDoc="0"
                AutoSaveFile="1"
                />

2. Closer to the top of the file, you have to make sure that the
selected scheme is the "_custom_" scheme. This is what my selection
looks like:

        <Select
            scheme="_custom_"
            autosaveprefs="1"
            useenvlocale="1"
        />

3. When you are done, save the file as plain text, without any extra
extension.

hope this helps,
