Manipulating Multiple Windows
*****************************

   A "window" is a place to show the text of a node.  Windows have a
view area where the text of the node is displayed, and an associated
"mode line", which briefly describes the node being viewed.

   GNU Info supports multiple windows appearing in a single screen; each
window is separated from the next by its modeline.  At any time, there
is only one "active" window, that is, the window in which the cursor
appears.  There are commands available for creating windows, changing
the size of windows, selecting which window is active, and for deleting
windows.
