<p>A <em>window</em> 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
<em>mode line</em>, which briefly describes the node being viewed.
</p>
<p>GNU Info supports multiple windows appearing in a single screen; each
window is separated from the next by its mode line. At any time, there
is only one <em>active</em> 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.
