Nighthawk:Window control standard

From Nighthawk

Along with the development of Compuease Faraday 11, the first version of Faraday to include movable windows, came the Window Control Standard. This strictly dictates what icons or glyphs can be used for specific window functions. A set of symbols was decided on and these are the ones that are still used today. Most of these symbols can be found in the general DOS Code page 437.
