display
1. <hardware> monitor.
2. <language> A vector of pointers to activation records. The Nth element
points to the activation record containing variables declared at lexical depth
N. This allows faster access to variables from outer scopes than the alternative
of linked activation records (but most variable accesses are either local or
global or occasionally to the immediately enclosing scope). Displays were used
in some ALGOL implementations.
