OK. I don't agree with some of the above, but not enough to repeat previous points.
So I've made most of the doc changes you ask for.
Take a look ASAP, and I have a question
I added text about potentially "not exiting" but I don't actually see any such problem.
Maybe its some platform thing that you've seen ?
For me, once the end of "main()" is reached the VM exits. Even if a sound is playing and looping.
And even then, are you suggesting this would block System.exit() ?
Where have you actually seen this problem or why are you sure it is a problem ?
