here is my code

HotKeySet("^+!s", "new") ;opens new

HotKeySet("^+s", "new2") ;closes new

Func new()

run ("new")

EndFunc

Func new()

winclose ("new")

Use a global variable to determine whether or not to run or close the window when the function is called:

Global $b_Run = True
HotKeySet("^+!s", "new")

While 1
    sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func new()
    If $b_Run = True Then
        run ("new")
        $b_Run = False
    Else
        winclose ("new")
        $b_Run = True
    Endif
EndFunc

...but what does it mean $...

Look at the second paragraph here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/i...g_variables.htm

...why do u add an "a_run"...

I didn't use a_Run anywhere. Perhaps you mean $b_Run? That is just the name of a boolean(True or False) variable that I created. If set to True, then the function will run a program. If set to False, the same function will close the window of the program. $b_ is an organized prefix that says that the variable contains a boolean value. If it contained a string I would have named it "$s_Run" instead of "$b_Run". So if you want, you could just call it "$Run", though this is bad coding practice since you now have no idea what datatype the variable contains.

...why at the end of the "if" goes "$Run = False"...

It sets it to false because it just ran the program. Now if you press the hotkey a second time, the "$b_Run" variable will be set to false, so the function will know that it already ran the program and that it should now close it. Upon closing the program it sets "$b_Run" to True so that when you press the hotkey later, the function knows to run the program and not close it.

...adn why do u have to make it global...

You must make it global scope so that the function in the script can see the variable. If you create the same variable with a local scope, any function that is in the script will not know of the existance of that variable which was declared in the main part of the script.
