Abstract

See full text

A computer implemented method is described for enabling a user to transfer, via a graphical user interface, an item from one displayed window to another displayed window. Initially, a first window is displayed with an item to be moved and a second window is displayed with one or more destinations to which the item can be moved. Thereafter, the user selects the item to be moved, causing a further window to be displayed which includes one or more commands, one of which manifests a movement action. Upon selection of the movement command, the graphical interface displays a list of destinations with which the item to be moved can be associated by actuating the movement command. Thereafter, responding to a selection of one of the displayed destinations, the computer which operates the graphical view user interface associates the item being moved with the selected destination and alters the display so that at least one of the displayed windows manifests the movement action.
