Minimizing A Window
Minimizing a window makes it appear as an icon again. Two buttons are located to
the far right of the title bar. Move the trackball pointer to the inside button and click
once. The window will collapse to a small icon in the desktop workspace.

The Window Title Bar
When the application is started, it will change from an icon to a window. Every
window has a "title bar" at the top of its frame. The title bar usually displays the
same name which was previously shown on the icon.
Below the title bar, you will find the "menu bar". The menu bar contains the File,
Edit and other menus. To open these menus, simply place the trackball pointer on
the menu and click the leftmost trackball button once. This opens the menu you
have selected. If the menu bar is gray, the window is not active to receive operator
input (although the application may still be running). If the menu bar is gold, the
window is active and can receive input from the operator.
Within each menu, various items are displayed. For example, in the File menu, the
items Open and Close are shown. To select an item, place the trackball pointer on
the item and click the leftmost trackball button. An item that isn't available for use
because it is an illogical operation will appear shaded. The system will not let you
select an unavailable item.
The Window Menu Button
A small "button" is located in the upper-left corner of every window. When this
button is clicked by the pointer, a menu is displayed. The menu contains commands
such as minimizing, moving, resizing and closing the window. Listed next to each
operation are the keystrokes (also referred to as "accelerator keys") that allow you
to do the same operations without having to point to the item with the trackball.
Even accessing the window button menu has an accelerator key-- press <ALT>
<SpaceBar> to pull down the window menu button without using the trackball pointer.
