Abstract: A method and software code are provided for the storage of display values from one or more fields of a form of a graphical user interface (GUI) application running on a computing device. In response to a save command by a user of the computing device in relation to an open form, for each field of the form containing display values, the display values are saved in a data storage file. Then in response to a load command by a user in relation to an open form and a designated or default data storage file, the fields of the form are populated with the display values stored in the file. This enables a user of a GUI application to customize the application with no programming knowledge.

Abstract: A tool for transforming SGML documents using SGML architectures determines to what class of element an element in a first document belongs, from the first document type definition, by searching at least part of the first document type definition for a qualifier to an element, indicating an association with a definition of the class of element. It then determines for that class, at least one corresponding element in the second document type definition, and includes in the second document, an instance of the corresponding element or elements. Interchange of documents becomes easier because a single generic tool can be used for transformation between many different types of documents.
