Getting Out of Emacs
====================

   There are two ways to get out of Emacs: you can kill the Emacs job,
which exits permanently, or you can suspend it, which permits you to
reenter the Emacs process later.  As a practical matter, you seldom kill
Emacs--only when you are about to log out.  Suspending is much more
common.

Killing Emacs

Exiting Emacs irreversibly.
