Abstract

A multi-window display control system includes a display area setting device for setting a first display area in the display area on a physical screen and setting a second display area in another area, different than the first display area. A display controller controls display of an active window or windows selected as application software and all the other inactive windows in the second display area so as not to overlap each other.
