Byte's Smalltalk issue, August 1981, has a number of articles describing
windows and windowing in the Smalltalk environment. In fact terms like
"Browse.Window" etc. are part of the Smalltalk-76 specification.
I have e-mailed lindows.com with the details.

The future was never like this!
This may be a bit off topic.
I received a forwarded message that originated from lindows.com. They
are in a suit with Microsoft regarding the use of "Lindows,com".
Microsoft is suing Lindows for trademark violation. In the message,
Michael Robertson, with Lindows, is looking for old documentation of the
use of the word "windows" and "windowing" prior to 1983. I can't
think
of a better resource than this list to find these references. The
relevant part of the forwarded message is quoted below.
Maybe some of the list members can provide the needed info to
lindows.com
I have some old (late seventies/early eighties) computer graphics books that
have entire chapters on windows. What about the Lisa. It came out in 1983,
but I'm assuming that Apple used the term 'window' to describe it's
interface prior to it's actual release. What about TopView? Was it pre 1983?
Probably not.
