wallpaper n. 1. a file containing a listing e.g., assembly listing or
   a transcript, esp. a file containing a transcript of all or part of a
   login session. the idea was that the paper for such listings was
   essentially good only for wallpaper, as evidenced at stanford, where it
   was used to cover windows. now rare, esp. since other systems have
   developed other terms for it e.g., photo on twenex. however, the unix
   world doesn't have an equivalent term, so perhaps wallpaper will take
   hold there. the term probably originated on its, where the commands to
   begin and end transcript files were `:walbeg' and `:walend', with
   default file `wall paper' the space was a path delimiter. 2. the
   background pattern used on graphical workstations this is techspeak
   under the `windows' graphical user interface to ms-dos. 3. `wallpaper
   file' n. the file that contains the wallpaper information before it is
   actually printed on paper. even if you don't intend ever to produce a
   real paper copy of the file, it is still called a wallpaper file.
