    a first Cursor Control Device (CCD) at least selectively within a first area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, the first CCD configured to generate a first signal, in response to a first input that is sensed in the first area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, for controlling the first cursor on the first display device;

    a second CCD within a third area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, the second CCD configured to generate a second signal, in response to a second input that is sensed in the third area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, for controlling the second cursor on the first display device; and

    an avionics display at least selectively rendered within a first sub-area of a second area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen,wherein the stimuli-sensitive display screen is configured to selectively display (i) the first cursor in the second area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, and (ii) the second cursor in a fourth area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen.
