Thanks to all of you who sent me letters on the difference between
"stop" (pausing) a queue and "stop" (stopping) a queue.  I normally
feel i can trust the command name to do what it seems to be saying it
is doing, but this is certainly not such an example.  (Help Stop/Queue
seems to say it does what you think it should do) I really appreciate
the help.  I only got about 25 letters, so i guess this is one of those
things like ("how do i synch my mail count?")

For those who want this paraphrased: (from info in these letters)
	Stop/Queue		- Pauses a queue
	Stop/Queue/Next		- Stops the queue after the current job finishes
	Stop/Queue/Abort	- Pauses the queue, but aborts the current job
	Stop/Queue/Reset	- Combines /NEXT and /ABORT to stop the queue
					immediately.

Pretty wierd.
