window system
     
        software which allows a workstation's screen to be divided
        into rectangular areas which act like a separate input/output
        devices under the control of different application programs.
        this gives the user the ability to see the output of several
        processes at once and to choose which one will receive input
        by selecting its window, usually by pointing at it with a
        mouse.
     
        examples are the x window system, and proprietary systems on
        the macintosh and next, news on suns and risc os on
        the archimedes.  see also wimp.
