Windows 95/98 is a multitasking
environment. Which means that you can run several programs at
once. For example, while word pad is running , you could start
other accessories like Paint (a painting program) or another
application installed on your computer, then switch among
the different programs to get your work done faster. Each program
will run in a separate window.
Active and Inactive are terms used to describe
multiple windows opened on your desk top.
An Active window over laps the inactive window,
since it is the one you are working with, it responds to your
mouse movements and your key strokes. The windows default
colours are Active BLUE
and Inactive GRAY
