Abstract

A number of GUI applications, and related data files, can be run and used at the same time. A first GUI application with a first data file or record is run. One or more primary symbols (26,28,30,32) representing one or more further GUI application are displayed. Actuation of one of the primary symbols (26,28,30,32) by a user causes a search for a second data file or record associated with the first data file or record. If an associated second data file or record exists, the further GUI application runs with the associated second data file or record automatically loaded. On request for allocation of virtual memory or "Windows" resources in a Microsoft Windows environment, memory or resources greater than that requested are actually allocated.
