Press RIGHT AMIGA (next to Alt on the right of the keyboard) and X to cut, RIGHT AMIGA and C to copy and RIGHT AMIGA V to paste.

If you want to quit a program press RIGHT AMIGA and Q. If that fails press CTRL and C.

Press up and down in a Shell window displays the last command/s that you typed.

To interrupt a script file press CTRL and D.

Christ if I read that I need to do all that when I am using a GUI-DRIVEN OS JUST TO CLOSE  A WINDOW then I'd think this Amiga has one rubbish OS.

How about just telling the guy "Just click the close gadget on the top left of the window".

If  that doesn't work (and as new user the next question I'd ask "why wouldn't it?") then try the keyboard short cuts.

Oh I see he is running the speech synthesis "Say" program, and this opens a window without a close gadget.  

Software which runs in a window, has no menu option to quit it and creates a window without a gadget IMO is just bad programming.  

My bad.
