== User Interface ==
The user interface (UI) of FutureOS uses a presents the user with three fixed sectrions: an icon section (upper half of screen), a file display and selection section (lower half of screen) and a message line (bottom). The user can browse through directories of discs and hard-disc partitions. A pointer cursor is used to select functions or files, it ; this cursor can be controlled with a joystick, mouse, trackball, light-pen or the Grafpad II.
Applications can call the UI as a subroutine. The icons are fixed, so you will always work with the same layoutremains stable throughout its use.
Files can be viewed on-screen (scroll up and down) or printed. File headers can also be viewed. When typing a text file it is possible to set the number of columns and lines of the window the text is displayed in.
