A display apparatus and method that provides a windowing interface that gives the user the capability to toss a window on a display screen by selecting a window by engaging the pointing device, moving the window by moving the pointing device and tossing the window by disengaging the pointing device, whereby the window continues to move after the user has disengaged the pointing device. A portion of the window is optionally kept on the screen so that the window is not tossed completely off of the screen.
