ABSTRACT:
A user interface is provided for a workstation when the workstation is using a host data processing system. The interface provides a windows type of graphical interface on the workstation when using a host program. The interface allows point-and-go access to host program functions with a mouse. Icons represent desired host functions. The interface provides audio notification of incoming mail, allows files to be uploaded and downloaded between the workstation to the host, allows a user to program an icon and executes host macros.
