@b<This window will tell you how to manage the number of windows the ASSIST puts on the screen.>

In order to manage the large number of windows that the ASSIST can
create, a @b<Window Management> scheme has been implemented.  Under
this scheme, you can specify the contents and placement of one or
more stacks of windows, and can also specify the maximum number of
windows that can be placed in each stack.  The ASSIST will then place
each window it creates into one of these stacks.  When a stack has
reached its maximum window depth, the first window entered into the
stack is removed to make room for a new window.  In this way, the
number of windows displayed at any one time is under user control.

This window management scheme uses X resources to control the
placement of the stacks (and windows in these stacks) and the maximum
allowable size of the stacks.  These resources fall into two categories:
stack placement resources, and stack size resources.

To learn more about Xt resources in general:
@button<Resources, Resources>

To learn more about resources that govern the placement of windows:
@button<Window Placement, Stack_Placement>

To learn more about resources that govern the maximum size of a window stack:
@button<Number of Windows, Stack_Size>
