ABSTRACT:
A method for processing user-input that may include a command to abort a previously requested operation and typed-ahead data entered in anticipation of completion of the previously requested operation is disclosed. The user-input is represented by a value queued in a first queue by an operating system. According to the present invention, the value is removed from the first queue and examined to determine if it represents a command to abort the previously requested operation. If the value represents a command to abort the previously requested operation, the previously requested operation is aborted. If the value does not represent a command to abort the previously requested operation, the value is queued in a second queue, and, after completion of the previously requested operation, the value is removed from the second queue and associated with a display window to which user-input is focused at that time.
