Abstract

See full text

An interactive display system includes a display terminal on which an operator may display the data contained in windows (14.1, 14.2 . . . ) on formatted application data (PS 1, PS 2 . . . ) in selected viewports (15.1, 15.2 . . . ) on the screen 13. The system is provided with storage (4), both real and virtual, into which a presentation interface service (2) loads dynamically the entire formatted data (PS 1, PS 2 . . . ) of each application (list 1, list 2 . . . ) as it is invoked by the user. A screen manager (7) maps the data contained in the defined windows into locations (16.1, 16.2 . . . ) of a programmable symbol refresh buffer (6, 8) determined by the corresponding position of viewports (15.1, 15.2 . . . ) on the screen defined by the user and through which the windows are to be viewed.
