foreground vt.   [Unix; common] To bring a task to the top of    one's {stack} for immediate processing, and hackers often use it in    this sense for non-computer tasks. "If your presentation is due next    week, I guess I'd better foreground writing up the design document."          Technically, on a time-sharing system, a task executing in    foreground is one able to accept input from and return output to the    user; oppose {background}.   Nowadays this term is primarily    associated with {{Unix}}, but it appears first to have been used in    this sense on OS/360.   Normally, there is only one foreground task    per terminal (or terminal window); having multiple processes    simultaneously reading the keyboard is a good way to {lose}.
