System and method of a user configurable display of information resources
First Claim
1. A user configurable method for generating a display of components, said method comprising the steps of:
- invoking an information resource control area on a display comprising a display of at least one operating environment of information resources;
invoking a scratch pad area on a display;
selecting at least one operating environment from said information resource control area;
selecting components from said at least one operating environment;
placing said selected components in said scratch pad at user specified locations in the scratch pad area; and
generating a user interactive HTML frame from the components located in said scratch pad area comprising generating a user display area comprising a display of said selected components at said user specified locations, wherein said user interactive HTML frame containing said components is capable of being stored for subsequent access.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for creating user configurable interactive display, wherein a control area is invoked in order to display representations of at least one operating environment. The operating environment contains user interactive components corresponding to information resources which may be selected for use by the user. A scratch pad is invoked onto the display allowing a user to select components from the operating environment to be placed onto the scratch pad. Once the interactive components from one or more operating environments are placed onto the scratch pad, a user interactive display area is generated comprising a display of user selected components.
