Close object, program, or workfile.
Closing an object eliminates its window. If the object is named, it is still displayed in the workfile as an icon, otherwise it is deleted. Closing a program or workfile eliminates its window and removes it from memory. If a workfile has changed since you activated it, you will see a dialog box asking if you want to save it to disk.
