ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for associating routines for controlling user actions in a computer-controlled display system. Each of a first of plurality of routines may be linked for controlling the computer-controlled display system when the system is in a first context. Each of the first plurality of routines may control different aspects of the functioning of the display system, such as the functioning of various user interface objects on the display. Further, a second plurality of routines may be linked for controlling the system when the system is in a second context. Each of the pluralities of routines are activated when the system is either in the first or second context.
