reading of exemplary claims 1 and 7, which are reproduced below.
1. A computer-implemented method of automatically inserting
data into at least one window displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI)
in a desktop configuration, comprising the steps of:
providing a list of selectable elements, each of said selectable
elements in said list associated with a respective window presently
opened in said GUI;
designating one of said opened windows for viewing by highlighting
one of said selectable elements in said list;
automatically moving said designated open window to the top of the
desktop when said one of said selectable elements is highlighted; and
automatically inserting said data into said designated open window
when said one of said selectable elements is selected.
7. In a computing environment, a tool for targeting, for automatic
insertion of data, one of a plurality of windows displayed in a graphical
user interface in a desktop configuration, said tool comprising:
a data storage window for storing data to be inserted into a target
window;
a selection window generating a list of selectable elements
corresponding to said plurality of windows;
a designator for designating one of said selectable elements,
wherein the designation of one of said selectable elements from said list
causes the window corresponding to said selectable element to be
