<h1>Scout - A Definitive Notation for Describing Screen Layout</h1>

<p>
As the title reads, <em>Scout</em> is a definitive notation for describing
screen layout.  By means of definitions, Scout primarily describes the
geometry of the layout of windows in a display.  Scout also serves as a
link with other definitive notations.  For instance, one can define a
Scout window in which some part of
a <a href="../donald/index.html">DoNaLD</a>
picture is displayed.
Scout windows can also be sensitive so that events (mouse or keyboard
actions) happening in that window can be detected.  Therefore Scout
can also support the development of simple user interfaces.
