Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for incorporating windowing techniques into computer systems having a host processor executing applications programs, and interconnected through a plurality of controllers to a number of non-programmable and programmable terminals, by distributing the processing steps required for windowing between the host processor and the controllers; the host processor generates a data stream defining the window parameters, the data stream is receivable by controllers for either programmable or non-programmable terminals, each controller being adapted to construct and display the window on the display screen(s) which it controls.
