Thanks for all of your help.
For this problem, I think kill is not a choice. Because I want all of the
vim instances save or simply quit without save. And I realized things would
be done easily if there is a vim server. Thanks Google again. I found this:
http://ajayfromiiit.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/server-and-client-mode-in-vim/
and
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/remote.html
Still, this is not exactly what I am looking for, but it seems a handy
script can be created to do a similar work.
What I need is: One vim server manages one or more vim instances which may
be lunched within different windows/terminals.
Thanks.
