An article describing the Rooms metaphor appeared in the July 1986 issue 
of the ACM Transactions on Graphics:

	"Rooms: The Use of Multiple Virtual Workspaces to Reduce Space
	 Contention in a Window-Based Graphical User Interface."

	D. Austin Henderson, Jr., and Stuart D. Card
	Xerox Palo Alto Research Center

	pages 211-243, ACM order number ACM 0730-0301/86/0700-0211 $00.75

That said...hasn't this drifted VERY far afield from comp.sys.next?  I think
vi v. MacWrite wars go somewhere very far away, if anywhere...
