First, Clear, whether for a single object or an entire list of objects, 
does not remove their Attributes, e.g., just their values. You might 
want ClearAll instead.

Second, did you try evaluating one of the following?

   ?Quit
   ?Quit*

Or looking up Quit (or even "quit") in the Documentation Center? That 
will answer your second question!
