If that doesn't work, switch to another VC, find out the process number
using "ps" or "ps x", then "kill number". If that doesn't work either, you
can "kill -9 number", but that's a very rough way to shut down a program
(with the normal kill, which is called `TERM', the program has a chance to
catch it and clean up after itself; with -9, otherwise known as `KILL', the
program just drops dead). If you have to do that to a program, have a look
around to make sure it hasn't messed up any of its files or anything.
