Introduction to Using the Window System

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 67, 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. This paper is a portion of a document which will explain how a programmer may make use of and extend the facilities in the Lisp machine known collectively as the Window System.
