     NAME
        
        fell - fell the process tree from the login shell
        
     SYNOPSIS
        
        ^C
        MCR>FEL<ESCAPE>
        
     DESCRIPTION
        
        fel fells the process tree hanging from the login shell.  After the
        invocation  of FEL, the user should see the termination messages of
        the subprocesses in the tree, followed by the shell's prompt.   fel
        only  works when the shell has been invoked with a SHL mcr command.
        If fel cannot find a shell with the correct name, it  reports  this
        fact with an error message.  If the terminal is currently operating
        in  half  duplex  and the bottom process in the tree is reading the
        terminal, the user may have to type an  extra  carriage  return  in
        order  to  cause  the  tree  to  topple.   Using  an  escape as the
        terminator for the FEL command eliminates an extra MCR prompt which
        garbages up the screen.
