-
- 6.1 Multi-tasking
-
- Γûá OS/2 systems have a multi-tasking capability
-
- Γûá Multiple applications can be open and running at the same time
-
- Γûá As an application opens or is activated, it moves into focus or becomes
- active
-
- Γûá As an application moves out of focus and into the background its window
- colours are greyed
-
- Γûá The more applications that are open and running the slower the speed of
- processing in each of them becomes
-
- Γûá Background applications are brought into the foreground using the mouse or
- the Window List

-
- 6.2 Window List
-
- Γûá The Window List:
-
- - is a list of application and folder objects that are currently open or
- running
-
- - provides a quick way of viewing and accessing all open applications and
- folders
-
- - does not have to be started by you, it is supplied and updated by the
- system
-
- - is brought into view by pressing <Ctrl> + <Esc>
-
- Γûá An application or folder can be brought to the foreground by pressing
- <Ctrl> + <Esc> then double-clicking with mouse button 1 on the name of the
- application or folder.
-
- Γûá Selection on an item in the Window List with mouse button 2 displays a

-
- 6.3 Copying Data between Applications
-
- Γûá The PM Desktop has a facility that allows text or graphics to be copied
- or moved from the window of one PM or Windows application into the window of
- another
-
- - e.g. from a spreadsheet to a word processing application
-
- Γûá When Edit options Cut or Copy are selected, the marked area is sent to a
- storage area which is invisible to the user
-
- Γûá Paste retrieves the marked area from the storage area
- Γûá This storage area is known as the clipboard
-
- Γûá Because the clipboard is a shared facility in common, some applications
- will paste data from it when that data has been cut or copied from a
- different application
-
- Γûá Not all applications support this feature - an indication may be Copy or
- Paste options under Edit.

-
- 6.4 Linking Data between Applications
-
- Γûá Some applications allow you to link data using a facility called Dynamic
- Data Exchange (DDE)
-
- Γûá This facility is used in a similar fashion to the clipboard - normally via
- Edit options
-
- Γûá For example, when you Copy a table from a spreadsheet, you can Paste Link
- it into a word-processor - thereby establishing a dynamic link.
-
- - when the spreadsheet table is updated the table in the word processor is
- updated automatically
-
- - normally need both applications to be running
-
- - can also work with data linked to charts or graphics
-
