ABSTRACT:
A method for implementing I/O in a frame-based computer system, including the steps of: a) determining whether there is a communication pertaining to a frame-based computer system; b) determining which frame the communication is associated with, if any; and c) causing the frame to implement a script, including sequence of computer-implemented process steps which causes with input to or output from the frame-based computer system. The frame-based computer system includes a CPU, a memory system coupled to the CPU, an input system coupled to the CPU, and an output system coupled to the CPU. A frame system stored in the memory system and implemented on the CPU provides a basic data structure for the frame-based computer system. A mechanism for detecting an output request initiated within the frame-based computer system causes an associated frame to execute a sequence of computer-implemented process steps to cause the output system to make an output. A mechanism for detecting an input from the input system causes an associated frame of the frame system to implement an input script, including a sequence of computer-implemented process steps, which causes an input into the frame system.
