I had trouble with this too until I figured out the following
trick:
	0. Enter the command "T" (to display the tasks).
	1. Press the ESCAPE key to switch the cursor to the
	   tasks window.
	2. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to position the cursor
	   on the line that displays the task you want to kill.
	3. Type the command "KILL" at the beginning of the line
	   (this may overstrike displayed information but there
	   seems to be no harm in that).

This has worked for me a number of times, but not always.  Does
anyone know if there's a catch?
