ABSTRACT:
A computer system includes a display and software that enables the system to create, change and delete, title-containing blocks and their interrelations, as shown on the display. The system employs keyed inputs to implement its commands and has a data structure that includes a world plane, segmented into rows and columns containing title fields. The data structure is used in a method which creates from a list of titles, a display of title blocks and graphical interconnections. The method comprises: positioning and displaying a list of titles and associated commands in the world plane; displaying a keyboard input of a command in the command field of at least a title to which the command applies; positionally adjusting the title in the display with respect to other titles, in accordance with the command; and graphically interconnecting the adjusted title with at least another title in the list of titles, the graphical interconnection being produced automatically in response to the command.
