ABSTRACT:
A computer-user interface facilitates interaction between the user and the computer in a manner which enables the computer to assist the user in accomplishing desired goals. The computer works with the user to automatically exhibit desired behavior in response to triggering events designated by the user. Any executable function can be designated by the user as the object of a task. The initiation of this task can be carried out in response to any programmatically detectable event, or trigger, which is also designated by the user. The existence and implementation of the behavior is unknown to the files and other objects with which it is associated. With the flexibility offered by this arrangement, the user can customize the operation of a computer to suit his or her particular needs.
