There are many kinds of windows:	A Help System message:
	"Your message has NOT BEEN SENT. The person you DIDN'T send it to will NOT be told a message is waiting the next time they start or finish a call to the HELP system.                     Press 0 for HELP Main Menu"
	Click the image for the sound (wav file) of the first interactive terminal!!  Set your sound level so it is difficult to think!!  It was all uppercase by the way.  It was called a "teletype" as it operated over normal telephone lines.  As you can see it also had paper tape that could be read or generated as a means of storage.  It was my first interactive terminal and at one point I had one at home as well as the office.
