Here is a proposed table of contents for the NWS manual

1. Introduction to windows
   ACW's stuff?

2. General ideas of screen management and the like.  Jargon words.
   Naming conventions.
   ACW's glossary.  SMANAG?

3. LMMAN;FLAVOR
   This really belongs in the Lisp manual, but since it won't be updated
   for a while we will also put it in the NWS manual.

4. BASWIN
   Basic message and so forth documentation for the TV:WINDOW flavor.
   Put this first so the reader can get generally oriented.

5. NWSOPR
   How to use from the keyboard operator's point of view.
   Keyboard and mouse basics
   esc commands
   system menu
   screen editor
   [that junk at the end should go or be subsumed by other stuff]

6. Primitives
   SHEET documentation
   Includes primitive functions, and general-use window-system special forms.

   Blinker documentation

   Font documentation

   I/O buffer documentation

7. Features.  This set of chapters document various flavors.  In some cases just
   how to use a window of this flavor, but typically how to mix this flavor into
   your own window.  Includes flavor documentation which hopefully can come from
   the on-line documentation, plus message and instance-variable and init-option
   documentation for the new frobs that are of interest to the user.

   [This is not necessarily the best order to present these in.  There may be
   no good order.]

   Menus

   Mouse-sensitive items

   Scroll bar, scroll regions

   Margins, borders, etc. (their internals)

   Typeout windows

   Scroll items

   Frames and panes

   Screen manager

   [anything else?  probably.]
   MXGCNX

8. Window debugging guide (whatever you want to call it)

9. Specific program documentation.  Maybe these don't go in here, although some
   are small enough.  The editor, the error handler, the font editor are the
   important ones.  Do peek, supdup, and telnet need documentation?

10. Some conversion stuff.  I suppose we probably aren't going to write enough
    of this.

11. Somewhere in here should be a chapter on the various canned "choose"
    features.  This should be for someone who is writing a program but
    does not want to get into the details of specific window types, etc.
    There should probably also be chapters on text display and graphics
    display for the simple-minded (or the impatient).  The latter will
    require designing and implementing a number of things that don't exist
    yet.
