A system for processing, in an atomic manner, commands generated by user interface control objects in order to modify data values corresponding to the user interface control objects in response to the activation of a group acceptance control object having a group acceptance graphic displayed on a display screen, the system comprising:

  • (a) memory means for storing a command data structure;

    (b) processor means for saving a parameter value in the command data structure for each of the data values, each of the user interface control objects having a graphic displayed on the display screen for displaying one of the parameter values;

    (c) processor means for modifying one of the saved parameter values in response to a command generated by a user interface control object during a group session as a user manipulates a user interface control graphic to cause a desired change in one of the data values;

    (d) processor means for executing a command using the command data structure in response to the activation of the group acceptance control object caused by a user manipulation of the group acceptance graphic in order to change the data values to the parameter values; and

    (e) storage means for storing all commands generated by user interface control objects during the group session until the group session is completed.
