Abstract
A data processing system having a client system, a server system for connection to the client system, and a remote user terminal for connection to the server system. The client stores application code which is executed on receipt of a remote access request to generate output requests which are communicated to the server. The terminal issues the remote access request to the server. The output requests are display requests directed to manipulating the display screen, and non-display requests which can be processed independently of the terminal. The server forwards the remote access request to the client, stores decoding code, sends the decoding code to the terminal on detection of the remote access request, receives the output requests from the client, generates responses to the non-display requests on behalf of the terminal, returns the responses generated to the client and forwards the display requests to the terminal. The terminal receives the decoding code and the display requests from the server, and executes the decoding code to manipulate the display screen in dependence on the display requests.
