ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatically scrolling the contents of a window using a remote pointing device. A cursor having vertical and horizontal indicators is displayed in a window where the contents of the window extends beyond the viewable area of the window. The cursor is movable in a selected direction by manipulating the remote control pointing device such that when moved to a boundary of the window, the contents of the window are automatically scrolled in the selected direction. Operation of the remote pointing device after displaying the contents of the window causes the cursor to jump to the next opened window in the viewable area.
