Kill command

[Tim M]

My Thunderbird email reading program started messing up yesterday and I was
instructed by the moderator of the Mozilla Thunderbird group to get rid of
.msf (or something like that. I am at another computer right now) files. I
was able to do that compact my folders (which I was told to do weekly . . .
seems like that is a good use for an automated script) and to make a profile
in Thunderbird. Part of the process was to make sure it wasn't running in
the background so I was instructed to use kill or ps to stop it from
running. I looked at the manpage for both and my eyes went blurry. How does
one use kill to stop a program . . . how does one find the id of the program
to use the command.
