 Control-Menu Box
 
 ■ The Control-menu box is the small square in the upper-left corner of a
   window or form that provides access to the Control menu. For example:
 
         ┌│■│         [1] Untitled        │▼││▲│┐
         │                                      ↑
         │                                      ░
         │                                      ░
         │                                      ↓
         │                                      ─
         └←░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░→│
