I don't think so, but you can start up a subshell and do (almost) anything
you want within it.  (Alt-F4 key.)

If you really want to dump Procomm, you could:
	1) Use the widely-available Mark program, before starting Procomm.
	2) Do your thing in Procomm, then fire up the subshell.
	3) In the subshell, Release the mark.  This will presumably free all
	   the occupied memory above the mark, including Procomm (and the
	   subshell).
If you try this, post the results.  (I.e., I have _not_ tried it, I don't have
a strong intuition about what will happen, and I make no promises whatever.)
