ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method for storing data from an instance of an application program into at least one of a plurality of buffers includes the steps of bringing an application program into focus, selecting data in the application program, selecting a store operation such as a "cut" or a "copy" operation while the application program is in focus, selecting one of the buffers while the application program is still in focus, and automatically storing the selected data into the selected one of the buffers. In a similar manner, data can be recalled from the buffers, such as in a "paste" operation, and any one of the buffers selected, without ever leaving focus of the application to which the data is recalled.
