I can't find the message that this is replying to, however I can answer the
question.  Ps will show you all dos resident processes; e.g. if you have
fp or the keyboard buffer extenders or any of those things that sit around
forever in memory.  You can also invoke it say from within a programme to find
out how much memory that prog is using; it'll show you all the memory blocks
and free memory blocks.
Kill can then be used to kill a resident process -- but only if you know that
it hasn't left hooks in the system.  Kill can also be used to kill a stopped
job; with the new release (2.1) you can stop (^Z, :stop) vi and if you decide
not to use fg to bring it back you could kill it [mind you you'd be left with
the tmp files sitting around...]
