I vaguely remember dealing with this for Edita quite a few years ago. The relevant code (arwen not win32lib) I ended up with is:

        elsif(msg = WM_ENDSESSION and wParam) 
           or msg = WM_CLOSE then           return saveAllFilesAndINI() 
        elsif msg = WM_QUERYENDSESSION then 
            if saveAllFilesAndINI() then    return {0}  end if 
        end if 

So it is not a question of "do you have enough time?", just do whatever you need to before returning.

HTH, Pete
