<h3> 3.4.2 Action on Window Closure</h3>
Another difficulty with GLUT, especially with multiple-window programs,
to Silicon Graphics hardware have not been implemented. Most or all
of the new callbacks are listed in the GLUT Version 4 "glut.h" header file
but did not make it into the documentation. The new callbacks consist
-of regular and special key release callbacks, a joystick callback, a menu
-state callback (with one argument, distinct from the menu status callback
-which has three arguments), and a window status callback <br>
- (also with one argument). Unsupported callbacks are the three Spaceball
-callbacks, the ButtonBox callback, the Dials callback, and the two Tablet

contact the <i>freeglut</i> development team.<br>
