A BLIT is a Bell Labs Bit map Terminal, I forget what the acronym was,
someone in Bell must know.  An interesting talk and video tape on it was
shown at the Summer 82 Unix conference in Boston.  He showed multiple
windows (with Asteroids, an edit and a make) all alive at the same time.
Most window terminals only have one live window or cycle through all
windows in a polling fashion.  It also had a mouse (useful for editing
and asteroids).  The system comes with System V and multiple window
support (or so I have heard).
