François,
If you have two documents open and try to close one of them BrailleBlaster is,
in fact, closing the entire application. This shouldn't happen. As John said,
it should dump you in the other document. This is the way it worked before.
In a lot of applications Control-W is used to close documents. We could
consider using this too.
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,

I think that if more than one document is open, BrailleBlaster should
switch to the next document when one is closed. Isn't this the way
MSWord behaves? That was my original intention.
There is in fact some overlap in the behavior of the menu. If you are at
the beginning of the file menu and press up arrow you land on new rather
than exit.
