Abstract
A computer system includes a display device, a storage device on which an application program is stored, and a processor. The processor retrieves the application program from the storage device and, under control of the application program, generates or receives a text string to be displayed on the display device. An information management engine receives the text string and uses it to generate a list of sources of information related to the text string. A display driver delivers the text string both to the display device for rendering and to the information management engine. The display driver also receives the list from the information management engine and delivers it to the display device for rendering.
