I could just from the shell do killall -s HUP emacs but that would just kill it, without giving me a chance to save my files, etc. So maybe there should be a way to send it a signal to just slap its face a little, to get its attention, but not actually kill it. Perhaps just to do what a C-g would have done, if it had got thru. (It's besides the point, but I was using http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages?uselang=zh-tw and C-g nor C-c C-k could break thru.)
