I just reread your note - thunar is not on my screen. the mouse pointer
with the circling circle is, and has been there since I tried to open
the filename.prg file.

that didn't work. I also entered pkill --help and found that the
option 9 is not on the list of arguments
it also did not give me a comment like 'you need to be root to use
this'. I'll try it with sudo

From command line try the following:
pkill -9 thunar
You could also try xkill
This will change the cursor to a skull and cross bones. Hover over
Thunar and click. It will kill it and all its process. (Be careful
don't click on the desktop)

I tried to open a text file (a foxpro source file with a .prg
extension). The default option was thunar, not mousepad. I got
the pointer with the circle indicating that its was doing
something. After about a minute, I opened the file with mousepad,
read it and closed it. The circling/pointer is still there. I ran
top in a term, saw thunar at the top. got the PID, killed it, said
invalid pid. Then I noticed in top that thunar was jumping arround
AND the pid was changing. This is new for me. I still have the
circling pointer. How do I close this process and possibly, how
do I keep this from happening again? xubuntu ver 16.04 LTS
