Need Assistance

I have two questions I am struggling with...

How do the programs p1, p2, and p3 need to handle their standard files so they can work like this: p1 | p2 | p3 ?

What exactly is this command supposed to do?
$ kill -QUIT %1

& This command below?
$ sort -o emp.lst emp lst &

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
