Abstract
A new processing system includes a child system and a parent system. The child system performs operations in a session, and includes a child application and a child-parent interface for receiving communications from a parent to control said child application. The parent system includes a child application invocation portion for enabling a child application to be invoked, a parent-child interface for generating communication for transfer to said child-parent interface, and a parent application for controlling the child application invocation portion and said child parent interface to enable invocation of said child application and for thereafter enabling said child application to perform processing operations in a series of processing sessions.
