Hi Christian,

Thanks for the help!  I ended up tweaking your code as follows:

#v+
implements("CatchupLeave");

static define catch_up_and_leave() {
    variable confirm_actions = get_variable_value("confirm_actions");
    set_integer_variable("confirm_actions", 0);
    call("catchup_all");
    call("quit");
    set_integer_variable("confirm_actions", confirm_actions);
}

definekey("CatchupLeave->catch_up_and_leave", "\ec", "article");
#v-

This now works beautifully.  Cheers!
