	Lets us expand upon X windows. That is a hook into the kernal, a way to
make the kernal work using a graphic interface. 

	When talking command line, BASH, ASH, KSH and whatever are also hooks
into the kernal. The SH in all of those is SHell. Bourne Again SHell,
Korn SHell. 

	(And X applications are most always, without exception I have found,
graphic shells over SHells but that is another subject.)
