Abstract
A method for retrieving, decoding, and processing codes in an intermediate language generated from object specifying languages such as HTML and JAVA is disclosed. The codes in the intermediate language are decoded and processed on a minimally featured and minimally powered machine to generate a screen of information with selections thereon for the user. The file corresponding to the chosen selection is retrieved, decoded, processed, and displayed to the user again for selection. Codes in a simple scripting language are also provided to facilitate the processing of commands.
