APPLICATION | The application name |
WHEN SUSPENDED | The time and date the document was suspended |

Killing activities - KILL
To kill a suspended activity, select it on the SUSPENDED ACTIVITIES list with the cursor, and type KILL. The activity will be removed from the list, and the document (or program) associated with it will be lost. PURGE is equivalent to a soft reset, which kills all suspended activities, and should therefore be used with great caution.
