The main features of the Power-Gx screen are described below. 

The Toolbar
The Current Program Name
Line Number
Option Tabs

The Toolbar - Power-Gx has a toolbar along the top of the screen that contains the menu options along with icons for the options available on that screen.  Some of these menu items and icons are standard Windows options (e.g. File|Save, File|Close, Edit|Copy, Edit|Paste, the 'save' icon graphic, the 'print window' icon graphic etc).  Others are specific to Power-Gx (e.g. Gx CRM\Contact Details, Gx SOP\Print Invoices, the Prospect Details icon graphic, the Print Delivery Notes icon graphic etc).

Option Tabs - where a program has more content than can be displayed on screen, option tabs are used to store the additional content 'behind' the initial display.  Each tab will have a heading to index the content it holds.  Clicking a tab with the mouse will display its contents, bringing it to the forefront of the window.  Examples of contents tabs in Power-Gx programs are shown below:

In the first example the 'Orders' tab has been selected so it is at the forefront of the window.  In the bottom example the 'Undelivered Lines' tab is selected. The tab header is highlighted in purple to let you know which one is currently displayed.  Selecting one of the other tabs will bring its contents to the forefront.
