text window: See VIO window.
thread: The smallest unit of operation to be performed within a process.
thunk: term used to describe the process of address conversion, stack, and structure realignment that is necessary when passing control between 16-bit and 32-bit modules.
thunk layer: An interface that converts 32-bit parameters to 16-bit parameters, and maps linear addresses to segmented addresses.
time slice

The period of processing time allocated for running a program.
An interval of time on the processing unit allocated for use in performing a task. After the interval has expired, processing unit time is allocated to another task, so a task cannot monopolize processing unit time beyond a fixed limit.

tuple: In a relational database, a part of a relation that uniquely describes an entity and its attribute.
