I agree!  It  would be nice to stop a process like in UNIX instead of rebooting
or, as I sometimes end up doing, opening another window while sacrificing
some memory (thank goodness for multitasking!!!).

Along those lines, a commmand that tells you what processes are running would
be nice, too.  Sometimes I have processes running that I don't even know about
or forgot.


harve!
