   Thanks for the clarification and photos.  Nice view out back!  The   
   meaning of "slider" might be regional.  Analogous to the variety of   
   terms used in different parts of the country to designate a carbonated   
   non-alcoholic beverage or for a full sized sandwich where the filling is   
   placed between the two halves of an oblong roll.  When I think of   
   "slider", what comes to my mind is small sized sandwich.  Your "slider"   
   is called a "sliding window" by window sellers and installers where I   
   live.  I know because I recently shopped for, purchased, and had   
   installed 3 of them.
