I just got my iBook and i noticed when you click the green x the program is still running in the dock. Is there a way to set it so that when you click the x it will quit the program.
 
I'm assuming that you mean the red x. The red x has one function, to close the window which it lives on.

Since programs have more then one window, making it quit the application doesn't make much sense.

Simply remembering that this is the methodology will make things a lot easier. Quit the application rather then just attempting to close its main window.

But then why quit the program at all? OSX is much better about putting idle programs out of active memory. I typically launch all my programs as I need them; leave them up all day; then quit them all at the end of the day.
 
A quick shortcut for closing programs (also easy to remember) is Apple-Q. That is, hold down the Apple (command) key and press q.

You can also right - click or ctrl - click on the dock icon and choose quit from the pop-up menu.
