System name:		W20-575-49
Type and version:	VAXSTAR 7.1H
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Quit olh after it has spawned ezviewer
	Quit ez after it has spawned whatever program it uses (it resembled
	ezviewer) to display its help pages
	Quit ez after it has displayed pages for previewing

What's wrong:
	In all these cases, the windows created for viewing the documention or
	preview file do not disappear when I quit from the program's main
	(initial) window.  I don't know whether this is a designed feature or
	a bug.  I can use commands in each individual window to quit.

	Strangely, no process seems to be listed that could account for
	these windows when I use "ps."  The processes could be running on
	some other machine and putting up windows here... it could explain
	why the program (olh, ez, or whatever) could die without the processes
	it spawned dying, and why no process is listed when I type "ps."
	I tried using "netstat" to determine what other machines it was
	connected to, but the output is too cryptic for me:

What should have happened:
	When I exited from olh and ez, I expected each of them to kill all
	the windows they put up.
