My bad - missed your post in all the noise. : )

Thanks for all the suggestions, even the ones that require a chicken
dance. Best options look like OP's freeeware apps, I'll take a look at
them when I get a chance.

Until then, I guess I'll keep using rt click|<quit> on the dock icons...

I have a quick way to quit all running apps.

There is a free program called "Qall".

I cmd-space to get spotlight up, then type qa and Qall comes up, then
hit <return>. No mousing required.

I could put it in the dock and one click would do it, but
cmd-spacebar-q-a-<return> works well since I don't want to accidentally
hit it in the dock.

Try Cmd - Option - ESC. Select all the programs you want to quit.
