Kill
====

 - Command: kill
     (`C-a k', `C-a C-k')
     Kill the current window.
     If there is an `exec' command running (Note: Exec) then it is
     killed.  Otherwise the process (e.g. shell) running in the window
     receives a `HANGUP' condition, the window structure is removed and
     screen (your display) switches to another window. When the last
     window is destroyed, `screen' exits.  After a kill screen switches
     to the previously displayed window.
     _Caution_: `emacs' users may find themselves killing their `emacs'
     session when trying to delete the current line.  For this reason,
     it is probably wise to use a different command character (Note:
     Command Character) or rebind `kill' to another key sequence,
     such as `C-a K' (Note: Key Binding).
