Lisp Machine Choice Facilities

Abstract

This document is a draft copy of a portion of the Lisp Machine window system manual. It is being published in this form now to make it available, since the complete window system manual is unlikely to be finished in the near future. The information in this document is accurate as of system 70, but is not guaranteed to remain 100% accurate. To understand some portions of this document may depend on background information which is not contained in any published documentation. The window system contains several facilities to allow the user to make choices. These all work by displaying some arrangement of choices in a window; by pointing to one with the mouse the user can select it. This document explains what the various facilities are, how to use them, and how to customize them for your own purposes.
