Not that it helps Steve who's running 8.2, but it's worth noting that SAS 9
offers a TERMSTMT system option where you can specify one or more SAS
statements to be automatically executed when the SAS session ends.

The documentation does contain the following warning:  "TERMSTMT= is fully
supported in batch mode. In interactive modes, TERMSTMT= is executed only
when you submit the ENDSAS statement from an editor window to terminate the
SAS session."

You can put a submit continue block in the frames TERM: section.
Make the pmenus Exit choice be two commands, END followed by ENDSAS.
