window

window
   In a graphical user interface, a rectangular portion of the screen that acts as a viewing area for applications.
   Windows can be tiled so that they are displayed side by side, or they can be cascaded so that their individual title bars are always visible. They then can be individually moved and sized on the screen. Some programs can open multiple document windows inside their application window to display several word-processing or spreadsheet data files at the same time.
   See also X Window.
