Abstract

See full text

A pointer associated with a computer pointing device is used to give instructions to the user of a computer program as to what actions are expected/required from the user. Upon placing the pointer in a predesignated action area of a panel of the computer program, the pointer is automatically changed to an action required pointer to indicate what the user is expected and/or required to do. Additionally, the pointer is used to directly designate a time, for example, a start and/or stop time for an event to be scheduled on an electronic calendar program. By placing the pointer at the appropriate time on a time line and activating the pointing device, the time is selected.
