After a while, evidently, several Stata 9 
users often find viewer windows proliferating like
rabbits. 

What do you do about rabbits? 

1. Keep the population down (the Wolfe solution)
================================================

Use the -nonew- option, directly or indirectly. 

2. Shoo them away one by one (the mouse solution) 
================================================= 

Click and shut. Gentle but possibly tedious. 

3. Shut them in batches
=======================

. window manage close viewer _all 

will, for example, will close them all. Clearly, 
you won't want to type that interactively, so 
a wrapper is indicated. 

. vclose

shuts all viewer windows, while a numlist is 
allowed, so that  

. vclose 1/4 

shuts #1 #2 #3 #4, and if you wish 

. vclose "#32" 

shuts #32. 

Not tested much, but here it is: 

*! NJC 1.0.0 9 May 2005 
program vclose
	version 9 
	syntax [anything] 

	if inlist("`anything'", "", "_all") { 
		window manage close viewer _all
	}
	else { 
		capture numlist "`anything'" 

		if _rc == 0 { 
			foreach v in `r(numlist)' { 
				window manage close viewer "#`v'"
			}
		}
		
		else foreach v in `anything' { 
			window manage close viewer `v' 
		}	
	}
end
