Abstract
In a computer controlled user interactive display, a system is provided for controlling cursor movement on the display screen involving a user activated cursor control device connected to said computer movable in the four orthogonal directions. The system has conventional means for converting the user activated orthogonal movements into cursor movements in said orthogonal directions on said display screen and user interactive means for scaling said cursor movements in each of said four orthogonal directions relative to the corresponding movements in said cursor control device. The invention is particularly directed to such cursor movement rate scaling in respective windows.
