Abstract
Graphical objects are used to set the relationships between a plurality of windows presented on a system display. The window relationships can be set by performing operations on the graphical objects, for instance, by selection by mouse click. Further, the relationships can be represented by changes in the display mode of the graphical objects. Thus, the invention enables the user to freely set the relationships between a plurality of windows and easily understand the relationships.
