I really don't understand the question.  If you launch a P8 program from 
the finder (GS/OS) and you quit that P8 program, it automatically takes 
you back to the finder...  What else can you do???  Even if you are at 
the basic prompt, all you need do is type "bye" and you'll go back to GS/OS.

:          keep  t

:          jsr   $bf00
:          dc    h'65',a'qparm'
: qparm    dc    h'04ee',a'addr',h'000000'
: addr     ds    2
:          end

: This does an extended quit call with a null pathname, causing ProDOS 8 to
: quit back to the previous app, which is the finder in my case.

Isn't this redundant?  When you quit any P8 program or type "bye" from 
basic, you'll go back to the finder anyway...
