Windows is a multi-threaded operating system. This means that multiple program options can be open simultaneously within the same program. This pull-down menu gives you the two standard window management options of Tile and Cascade.
Tile This will arrange the currently active windows so that one is on top of the other, but with as much room side to side and top to bottom as possible. If your window is 640 x 480, this will not change the appearance of your window, since you are at the minimum window configuration. If you have configurations larger than 640 x 480 and each window is minimized, then you will see some tiling take effect.
Cascade This will arrange each open window with just the title portion of each window showing at the top. You can make any window active just by double clicking on the title bar of the window.
It also gives you a listing in the bottom portion of the menu of the program options which have been started and are currently in use. The current window is designated with a check mark before it. It is NOT a good idea to have too many windows open at once. Open the window when you need it and close it when finished.
