   I was wondering if there was a way to kill off a program once
it's up and running.  I use unix machines a lot, and you can just
hit ctrl-z and then "kill <job number>"  and they are GONE.

  Using an older 2.0, some of my applications freeze up and it
would be nice if I could just kill them off and get back all my
precious memory.
