subject: What are `Object Windows` ?

-=> Quoting Ansgar Konermann to All <=-

 AK> What are these object windows good for?

Object windows don't have to obey the 1/10th second rule because they don't
have visible windows associated with them.

This lets the user continue interacting with the program (and the entire
system) while a time consuming task is being done in the object window
procedure.
