Yep, out-of-date documentation strikes again. The Background class 
contains the method

     def on_exit_command(self, evt):
         self.exit()

and the resources were all changed to use a command named "exit" so you 
don't have to define this yourself, plus any buttons you want to create 
that mimic a File->Exit menu can just use an "exit" command as well for 
free. For example, in minimal.rsrc.py and most of the other samples and 
templates...

                 { 'type':'MenuItem',
                   'name':'menuFileExit',
                   'label':'E&xit\tAlt+X',
                   'command':'exit' } ] }

So this part of the walkthrough can be ignored.
