Abstract
Information is presented to a computer user by a graphical user interface including a frame border incorporating textual and/or graphical data. Frame borders are provided with text or graphics which present to the user information indicating which direction a frame will go when clicked, or whether the border is capable of being clicked or dragged. Through the use of such descriptive text and/or graphics, such as an arrow or icon, a user is informed that the frame is a frame, that it may be positioned and opened, the direction in which will open or closed, and what will be uncovered.
