close a mac terminal
Is there a trick to closing a mac terminal with a command? I would think you could just type exit into your terminal but that doesn't work. I also tried quit and close just for the hell of it and that didn't work either. Does anyone know what the command is?

Hi everyone. I'm new to using the Terminal and was just wondering if anyone had a link to perhaps a list of commands. And tips on some useful websites to visit or books to read.
Oh and is there a way to delete just part of the Terminal's history? If so what is the command?
Thanks :) (2 Replies)

ul(1) General Commands Manual ul(1)
NAME
ul - Translates underlining for display on a terminal
SYNOPSIS
ul [-i] [-t terminal] [file...]
The ul command displays the named files (or standard input if none are given) with underlining shown as it would be on the printed page.
OPTIONS
Causes the ul command to indicate underlining by a separate line containing appropriate - (dashes). This is useful when you want to look
at the underlining in formatted text output on a cathode ray tube (CRT) terminal. Overrides the terminal kind specified in the environ-
ment. The terminfo database is read to determine the appropriate sequences for underlining. If the terminal is incapable of underlining
but is capable of a standout mode, then that mode is used instead. If the terminal can overstrike, or handles underlining automatically, ul
acts like the cat command, simply displaying data to the screen. If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.
DESCRIPTION
The ul command translates underscores to the sequence that indicates display underlining for the terminal in use, as specified by the TERM
environment variable.
FILES
Terminal information database.
