The tab bar is shown at the top a Terminal window that has
multiple tabs open (it looks like a row of buttons). Click on a tab to switch
to it. You can open multiple tabs to manage your work in Terminal.
This will allow you to multi-task with activities such as running programs,
browsing directories and editing text files in a single Terminal
window.
