Hello,
	This is my first posting and the Amiga 2000 is my first
home-style computer.  As a result my question is rather biased
by a main-frame point of view.  Actually I have 2 questions:
	1) How can I get a listing of ALL the processes that
		are competing for CPU time (including the current
		CLI, workbench, etc.)
	2) Suppose one of the processes listed has run amok, how can
		I kill it and any daughter processes, freeing up any
		buffers they are using, without upsetting anything else?

	Please respond by e-mail to

   uucp ----  dooley@helios.toronto.edu
or bitnet --  dooley@utorphys

If either question turns out to have a non-trivial answer I will post
a summary to the net.
