A brief description of the windows follows:
Instrument Control - This is the window for entering all commands controlling the instrument or telescope. It will initially have a ``[instrument computer]'' prompt, and a ``%'' prompt when the instrument microcode is running.
IRAF XTERM - This window is used for IRAF commands for analysis of data or for shell commands such as creating directories, moving, or archiving data.
Instrument Status - Once the instrument microcode has been loaded, this window will appear. Instrument, voltage, detector status commands in the Instrument Control window will output here. The existence of this window is a diagnostic of WILDFIRE, as a system crash will often close it.
Display - At present, this is an Ximtool display, which may be accessed
either through the Instrument Control window, where images may be automatically
displayed as they are taken, or through the IRAF XTERM window via the IRAF
display task. Unfortunately, the display format is fixed at 512 
512
for the display of new data; the IRAF display magnification may, of course,
be varied as desired.
Console - This is generally used only for diagnostic or emergency purposes, such as killing a hung process or the entire WILDFIRE when it hangs up.
