117 Windows are created, deleted and rearranged using the mouse.
118 Clicking (pressing and releasing) mouse button 1 in a non-current
119 window makes that window current and brings it in front of
120 any windows that happen to be overlapping it.
121 When the mouse cursor points to the background area or is in
122 a window that has not claimed the mouse for its own use,
123 pressing mouse button 3 activates a
124 menu of window operations provided by

162 Windows may be moved partially off-screen.
165 Delete a window. Click in the window to be deleted (gunsight cursor).
166 Deleting a window causes a
168 note to be sent to all processes in the window's process group
173 Hide a window. Click in the window to be hidden (gunsight cursor);
174 it will be moved off-screen.
175 Each hidden window is given a menu entry in the button 3 menu
176 according to its current window system label.
179 Restore a hidden window.
182 Windows may also be arranged by dragging their borders.

203 \fIwidth\^\^\fLx\fI\^\^height\fR,
204 \fIwidth\^\^\fLx\fI\^\^height\^\^\fL@\fI\^\^xmin\fL,\fIxmax\fR,
205 \fL'\fIxmin ymin xmax ymax\fL'\fR,
