the system processes corresponding to your jobs; notice that the PID on
the left of the screen does not correspond to the job number.

You may not be able to find your processes because they're off the bottom
of the screen; if you're using X (see Chapter 9 on page [*]), you can
resize the xterm to solve this problem.

Even these simple jobs actually consist of multiple processes, including
the man process and the pager more, which handles scrolling one page at a
time. You may notice the more processes are also visible in top.

You can probably figure out how to clean up the remaining two jobs. You
can either kill them (with the kill command) or foreground each one (with
fg) and exit it. Remember that the jobs command gives you a list of
existing jobs and their status.

One final note: The documentation for bash is quite good, but it is found
in the Info help system rather than the man pages. To read it, type info
bash. See section A.1.1 for instructions on using the info program. bash
also contains a very good summary of its commands accessible by the help
command. help displays a list of available topics; more information about
each of them is accessible with the command help topic name. Try typing
help cd, for example. This will give you details on the -P and -L
arguments recognized by cd.
