If there is no window manager, there is no way to change a window's location or alter its size. Many applications available for your computer, such as Smart Suite and Netscape Navigator Hypermedia Browser, make use of AIXwindows. You enter commands at the command line prompt in the aixterm window. See Using the AIXwindows Interface for more information on working in this interface. If your screen looks like the Command Line Screen illustration , you are in a command line interface.
Most people are familiar with the command line interface, also known as a shell interface.
It is a blank screen with a system prompt. Commands you type from the keyboard appear next to the prompt. The system prompt informs you that the system is ready and waiting for you to enter commands. Your system prompt may be different because your system administrator may have set up a word, such as your name, as the prompt rather than one character. The cursor is a visible mark used to indicate where entered text will appear.
