Abstract
A method is disclosed for concurrent data entry and manipulation in a plurality of computer applications which are simultaneously active and displayed in a plurality of viewports or "windows." A display attribute is set in selected windows which permits the utilization of a "global" cursor. After designating a location within each selected window, a global cursor is positioned therein. Thereafter, data entered at or manipulated by a single global cursor will be automatically and concurrently entered at or manipulated within each window having a global cursor positioned therein.
