Sending "quit\r\n" did not help.

I changed the code to

                                     line-end))))
              (print "about to send quit")
              (process-send-string process "quit\r\n"))

and the "about to send quit" did get displayed, but vlc did not quit.

Is there more I can check tomorrow?

Thanks for all your help so far,
