Abstract
A recent development in human-machine interfaces is the partitioning of a computer terminal screen into distinct "windows" of information. This paper defines the concept of "windows" and describes its most common features and applicable operations. It then investigates the utility and application of windowing and compares its features with those of existing user interfaces. The emphasis is on improving the human-machine interface.
