The basic idea was that closing a window does not remove the data (of the
window) from memory. The window might be iconified (e.g. Interface) or
displayed in a window list (take a look at 7Up & Interface) - very useful
under plain TOS (limited number of windows) and in a multitasking
environment (because it doesn't waste space on small monitors like Iconify
does).
If you abandon the window (or the iconified symbol) then data is removed
from memory. In opposite to "REVERT <object>" (CTRL-H) data is not
reloaded.
I suggested CTRL-D for this feature because Ofir recently used
Shift-CTRL-U in his proposal to close all windows. If you don't need a
shortcut for closing all windows (is there any demand for it?) you might
use Shift-CTRL-U to Abandon.
