ABSTRACT:
A host node is provided with an I/O port and a display monitor. The I/O port transmits packets to a specific one of the remotely accessible server nodes containing a request for information. In response, the I/O port receives packets containing requested information, entries describing other topics of information that can be provided from the specific server node and entries describing other server nodes. The display monitor has a view area on which images are displayed. The display monitor displays a hierarchically organized table. The table includes the entries describing remotely accessible server nodes and the entries describing topics of information that can be retrieved from the remotely accessible server nodes. The entries are hierarchically organized so as to indicate a hierarchical organization of the entries as provided for retrieval from the remotely accessible server nodes which hierarchical order of retrieval is independent of a specific order of retrieval by the host node.
