os - Linux
vim - VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0d02 BETA
ant_menu - 0.5.4

I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to quickfix, so any help you can give
me would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using vim with the ant_menu plugin, which integrates the Apache Ant
tool with vim.  Basically, by using the ,t<target> key combo, I can
execute a build.xml file and have its output redirected to a quickfix
window at the bottom of my screen.  So after executing the plugin, the
screen is split into two, with the quickfix screen at the bottom.

Naturally, if there's a problem uncovered by ant, I would like to close
the quickfix window so I can devote all of my screen to a single vim
window containing my code.  The problem is that I can't.  If I move the
cursor out of the quickfix window (it's in there by default after
executing ant_menu), then I can't put it back in there.  It's as if VI
doesn't know that the quickfix window exists.  Please note that I am *not*
asking how to move my cursor from window to window; I know how to do that.
 I just can't move it into the quickfix window after moving it out.

Well, naturally, if I can't navigate to the quickfix window, then I can't
close it.  Is this normal for quickfix?  Is there some other command that
I should use to navigate to the window?  Is there some quickfix-only
command for closing the window?

Thanks in advance for the help!
