Everyone is right, and everyone is wrong.

Panel groups are a part of IBM's UIM facility - User
Interface Manager.

So a panel group is a lot like a display file - a
collection of 'windows' or screens to display and interact
with data.

The difference is that instead of explicitly specifying
locations, indentation, colorization, etc - IBM's UIM
handles the majority of that.
The idea is to create a common user interface without all
the manual work involved in ensuring the same 'look and
feel'.

You can get explicit, yes.
And most people see PNLGRP's as help windows, yes.

But you can use them to create subfiles and other display
items as well.
