Learning the Unix Operating System: A Concise Guide for the New User - Using Window Systems

Overview All versions of Unix work with alphanumeric terminals that handle a single session in a single screen. On most modern Unix versions, the user can also use a window system. A window system is software that lets a single screen handle many sessions at once. Window systems use a mouse or another device (such as a trackball) to move a pointer across the screen. The pointer can be used to select and move parts of the screen, copy and paste text, work with menus of commands, and more. If the user has used a Macintosh or Microsoft Windows, among others, they've used a window system.
