Information on the Screen

The first three lines on your terminal screen define the product, release, date, time of day, window number for the current window (see Windowing) and refresh interval (if installed with the refresh option). This area also provides a field for entering commands and a message area.

The rest of the terminal screen contains one or more windows. Each window displays a monitor screen. The default window is the window that is displayed in the upper-left corner of the terminal screen. Performance Monitor displays as many windows at a time as possible. Use the windowing facility to manipulate the window displays, as described under Windowing.

1. Type quit, bye, or end following the CMD--> prompt
