ABSTRACT:
A computer system employs a graphical user interface and pointing device to allow a user to drag icons, representing data or objects, without holding the mouse button, or other key, actively depressed. The system allows the user to select and add icons, from a displayed window, to a "drag set". Multiple "drag sets" are linked to a "lazy drag" set, the contents of which may be moved to a target location. At the target location, the user decides what operation is to be performed with the data or objects linked to the "lazy drag" set.
