ABSTRACT:
A graphical user interface system and method for user activated selection of a displayed object. On a display screen of an information processor, a cursor shape and an external shape of a retrieval area surrounding the retrieval area shape are displayed. At the tip of an arrow-like cursor shape, a cursor reference position is blinked and displayed in accordance with the arrow-like cursor shape. An object is selected by operating a pointing device such as a mouse to move the cursor so that at least part of the object enters into the retrieval area shape.
