The bulk of the window comprises four sub-windows or panes. Clockwise from top left these are the explorer (see Chapter 10, The Explorer), editing pane (see Chapter 11, The Editing Pane), details pane (see Chapter 12, The Details Pane) and to-do pane (see Chapter 13, The To-Do Pane).

Finally at the bottom of the window is a status bar described in Section 7.5, “The status bar”.
