  Signal - send a (POSIX-style) signal to a tool

SYNOPSIS
  Signal(in string theSignal);

DESCRIPTION

  transparently process, the Signal request.

  The Signal request can be sent as in the following example:

       Tt_message msg = tttk_message_create(0, TT_REQUEST, TT_SESSION,
			       the_recipient_procid, TTDT_SIGNAL,
			       my_callback);
       tt_message_arg_add(msg, TT_IN, Tttk_string, "SIGHUP");
       tt_message_send(msg);

WARNINGS

  the scope of the message.  The consequences of doing so can be severe and
  unexpected.
