I am not sure why the Exit doesn't work, the DFRM example I worked from
had a few bugs. I was just looking at it but it's not important for now.

Once I have a simple example working I will add nicer features such
as groups for checkboxes/buttons etc. so that the layout can be made
a bit prettier. I am going to avoid putting any formatting instructions
in the xml, I will put up with a slightly clumsy layout.

Version 2 will, one day, edit config files and save the world ;-)
