For example, a client system may be running the OS/2 operating system and a second, server computer the AIX system. The server system that allocates display screen space for application windows running on the server system and supports window management. Further, the window management places GUI borders around the application window which allow a user to interact with the client application. The functions in these GUI borders include a menu bar, scroll bar, sizing features, pull down windows, and the like. The client application is mapped into a form which enables the application commands to be recognized by a library of functional calls associated with the server system. The server system, displays the client application in the designated window along with the server GUI. In this manner a user can interact with a client application using the server graphical user interface.
