High Level Library
==================

   The high level library is part of the main `libgpm.a', but it acts at
a different level of abstraction. The high level library depends in the
low-level one, so if you link your application with any object of the
high-level library, you're forced to link in the low-level one too.

   If your application _only_ runs under xterm, please see `gpm-xterm'
in the `sample' subdirectory of the distribution, which offers all the
needed functionality.

   The main role of the high-level library is to define a way to manage
windows (or "Regions of Interest" on your text screen). The regions are
arranged in a stack, and event are delivered to the different windows
according to their position both on the stack and on the screen.  Note:
hltest.
