2.5.2-3 Displaying Multiple Windows

When multiple windows are open simultaneously, the user should have the capability to easily tile, layer, or sequentially view the windows (see Figure 2.2).

Additional Information:
Depending upon user needs, data windows might appear simultaneously as segments of a joint display (i.e., tiled), might be overlaid in varying degrees so as to obscure one another (i.e., layered), or might be displayed sequentially at the user's option. In the latter condition, multiple display windows will differ little from multiple display pages, except perhaps in speed of sequential access.
