Sub-windows. To illustrate that the current window can be divided into a number of sub-windows, we introduced five vertical windows and three horizontal ones as delineated by the lines you see here. If we wanted to scroll the horizontal group of five windows in the lower row, we would use the scroll buttons to its immediate right. The other windows in the middle and upper rows would remain as they are. On the other hand, if we wanted to scroll the vertical group of three windows in the middle column, we would use the scroll buttons below it. This approach to scrolling is rare but very useful.
