So the name "job control" is used for a minimal window manager
as a "marketing ploy", eh ?

That's really strange, because the words "job control" 
immediately bring to mind

    //jobname  JOB (000649,10,10,200),'your name here',REGION=512K
    //stepname EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
    //SYSUT2   DD UNIT=SYSDA,DSN=FOO.BAR,SPACE=(CYL,(5,2)),VOL=SER=USER02
    //            DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=6400),DISP=(NEW,CATLG)
    //SYSUT1   DD UNIT=TAPE9,VOL=SER=REL60,LABEL=(,NL),DSN=NEWREL,
    //            DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=2400,DEN=3),DISP=(OLD,KEEP)
    //

which is particularly distasteful, if not abhorrent, to the UNIX community.

For the uninitiated, all the above does is copy a single file
from a tape reel to disk.
(Please, no flaming JCL corrections; it's been over 4 years since I've
written any JCL, and good riddance !)
