A face is a rectangular section of the screen; a window is a face
too. A face can contain other faces inside it.
LAYOUT is a function that produces a window face with other faces
in it based on the VID dialect you provide. So, the result of
LAYOUT is actually a face.
LAYOUT, taking a dialect block, is much more high level that
creating faces directly, which are more low level.
Hope this gets you started. :)
Regards,
Gabriele.
