HP Visual User Environment

the other layers of the system (the hardware, operating system, and X
Window system), enabling you to control your workstation by direct-
ly manipulating graphical objects instead of by typing commands at a
command–line prompt.

icon

A small, graphic representation of an object. Objects can be “ico-
nized” (turned into icons) to clear a cluttered workspace. Icons can be
restored to their original appearance when needed. Whatever pro-
cesses are executing in an object continue to execute when the object
is iconized.
