Abstract: Disclosed is an application program for revising a list of textual values, wherein the application is controlled by a computer system having at least a visual operator interface, an operating system for controlling the operation of program applications within the computer system, and memory for storing the application program. The application includes means for selecting a first window showing a user list box displaying a plurality of textual values. A first pushbutton may be selected from the first window to cause the display of a second window in which the user may enter a new textual value that is different from the plurality of textual values displayed in the first window. Another pushbutton in the second window may be used to display the first window with the textual values displayed including the new textual value. A pushbutton from the first window may be used to display a second value identical to the first textual value.

Abstract: The invention is carried out in the following environment. The computer system has at least a visual operator interface, an operating system for operating applications within the computer system, and memory for storing at least part, preferably all, of an application. The present invention is of an application, apparatus, and method for selecting multiple container objects whose contents are to be viewed, and displaying in one window the contents of all of the selected container objects, as opposed to displaying one window for objects associated with each selected container object.

Abstract: A method apparatus and application is provided for displaying wells containing objects related to objects initially displayed. The computer system has at least a visual operator interface, an operating system for operating applications within the computer system, and memory for storing the application. A new display control function called Expand to Wells is provided. The Expand to Wells function opens all the wells for any object on which it is dropped. The function applies to all objects shown. A separate one is not required for each well.

Abstract: A graphical user interface may used to construct a list from pre-defined and user-defined printer values. Predefined values may be added or removed through a dialog box by selecting or deselecting values. New user-defined values may added by filling in a value in the add value dialog. An existing value may be modified by selecting a modify push-button. In response to selecting the modify push-button, a value may be edited in a modify value dialog. Adding, removing, modifying, and deleting printer values may be performed by user interaction with various push-buttons and dialog boxes.

Abstract: The invention is carried out in the following environment. The computer system has at least a visual operator interface, an operating system for operating applications within the computer system, and memory for storing at least part, preferably all, of an application. The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and application for constructing in a graphical user interface a list of values from pre-defined and user-defined values. Also disclosed is a means for adding, modifying, and deleting values. Additionally disclosed is a means for copying selected values from one entry to another entry in the list of values.

Abstract: A subset list is created from a superset list in a graphical user interface. The subset list is presented in a vertical format with each item on the list on a separate line. Vertical and horizontal scrollbars make the list easy to use. The subset list items selected on the superset list continue to show as selected and appear each time the superset list window is opened. Thus, only additions or deletions from the subset list must be addressed. Those entries on the subset list that are to remain the same do not have to be re-selected on the superset list.

Abstract: An application, method and apparatus is disclosed by which a user selects an object and then drags and drops the object onto a window containing multiple possible target objects. The system generates a selection window listing all of the possible target objects. The user then selects one or more of the possible target objects on which the selected object is to operate.
