Yes, but I was not familiar with that command until about thirty seconds ago, after I read your comment.
I'd tried using 'killall', but that was not quite as useful as 'pkill' would have been. Especially since 'ps' took so long to run (just bringing an already open terminal window to the foreground took forever; then I had to wait for it to respond to keystrokes and for 'ps' to show me the process names). But 'kill' wasn't 100% effective -- apparently there were more helps waiting (lurking in a keystroke buffer or something?) to be launched, so I got a fresh crop as soon as the first batch closed.
Perrine's been getting better about not walking on the keys, but lately seems more and more inclined to use it as a pillow.
