Abstract

A method and apparatus for creating user configurable interactive display, wherein a control area is invoked in order to display representations of at least one operating environment. The operating environment contains user interactive components corresponding to information resources which may be selected for use by the user. A scratch pad is invoked onto the display allowing a user to select components from the operating environment to be placed onto the scratch pad. Once the interactive components from one or more operating environments are placed onto the scratch pad, a user interactive display area is generated comprising a display of user selected components.
