Note for people familiar with the Unix version of Apache: these
commands provide a Windows equivalent to <CODE>kill -TERM
-<i>pid</i></CODE> and <CODE>kill -USR1 <i>pid</i></CODE>. The command
+<EM>pid</EM></CODE> and <CODE>kill -USR1 <EM>pid</EM></CODE>. The command
line option used, <CODE>-k</CODE>, was chosen as a reminder of the
"kill" command used on Unix.
