Abstract
An electronic device having a user interface and a display unit on which an object is selected from a source screen in response to a first input at the user interface. The selected object is then tunneled to a target screen, via a virtual tunnel, in response to a second input at the user interface. The source screen and the target screen may be a part of the display unit in the electronic device. The tunneled object is then edited or modified to create an object desired by the user.
