When you start a program or application, a defined work area appears on the screen. This defined work area is called a window.@
A window is a movable, resizable area in which information is displayed and with which you can interact.@
The title bar appears at the top of each window. It displays the name of the open application or software.@
A window may be moved from one location to another by pointing to the title bar and dragging the window to another location.@
A scroll bar is a bar that can appear at the lower edge or the right edge of a window.@
Scroll bars are used when the amount of information in a window is larger than can fit comfortably in a single window.@
Since a window is a flexible (resizable) object, you can easily change its size.@
On the far right of the title bar are three important buttons: <B>Minimize</B>, <B>Maximize</B>, and <B>Close</B>.@
You can use these buttons to increase or decrease the size of a window, or to close the window.@
