Abstract
An improved system for communication between a host that keeps and updates information and a microcomputer that accesses, varies or adds to the host information. The microcomputer displays information received from the host and sends information selected or entered by the microcomputer user to the host. A multitude of applications may exist and function on the host and on the micro. A communications network may be used to carry information between the microcomputer and the host. The method provides for switching among physically separated hosts supporting different host applications.
