You can close the pipe pair (close the process), or you can kill with 
the kill command.

I have a vague memory of the process lingering in open process after a 
close for a tiny bit, so you might want to wait before you kill it.

Long, long ago I was able to create a scenario in which a process did 
not quit after close.  I'm not sure if kill even worked from 
Revolution.

You can try to send numToChar(3) down the pipe to the process, but it 
seems to me that didn't work.  Maybe I'm wrong.  It's an easy 
experiment to try.  Maybe you have.
