ABSTRACT:
A system and method for interpreting messages sent from an I/O device to an application object in an object-oriented environment, such that the messages interpretation of these messages will be consistent regardless of the I/O device used to generate them. Dynamic binding is used to interpret any object-object interactions that may occur. In general, the message interpretation abilities of the present invention allows additional I/O devices to be used with the object-oriented environment without having to update all the application objects in the environment.
