ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a system and method for transmitting objects of varying types from one processing unit to another using a transporter. The present invention enables the user to create and iconically display each transporter and object icon on a display. At object type definition, the user enters the characteristics of each object type once into a database. Furthermore, at transporter creation, the user enters the transmission command and destination address for each transporter once into a database. As such, the transporter is capable of transmitting numerous objects to a predefined processing unit without continuously prompting the user for object characteristics, mailing protocols, or destination addresses.
