Below the units menu in fortress mode, next to the listings for the hotkeys to zoom to the selected creature or go to the manager screen, there is another option listed as "r: Remv Cre". What does this do? Does anybody know? I tried looking on the wiki but couldn't find it.

Well, in the jobs menu at least, it's used to remove a dwarf ("creature" I assume) from the highlighted task. I assume it would be used for the same thing in other menus, though I haven't noticed/tried it there. It's greyed out if they are performing a task they can't be removed from directly, for whatever reason.

It removes the current task from units screen as well. It certainly doesn't purge entity from the units screen, even though I wish it did.

This. It is used when a dwarf is doing something time-consuming that you want him to drop so he can do something more important. It interrupts the task and has the dwarf reassess the job requests available to him.

And half the time they choose the same damn job.

Yeah, I usually only use this after reassigning labours, to kick-start the changes quicker when there's a tight deadline.

Some tasks can't be interrupted, most can.
