Abstract

In studying text editing, the user frequently needs to interact with other areas of a computer system in the process of editing a document. The user might want to find out the name of a file on his workstation or on a public file server; the user might want to send off a piece of electronic mail asking for some information and then read the response; the user might want to perform a quick calculation or a detailed statistical analysis, and incorporate the results directly into the document. The user would like to do all of these things without interrupting the flow of editing, either by having to close down the editing of a current document or by having to wait a long time while another process gets started. There can be certain conveniences built into the text editor to allow the most common of interruptions, such as looking at the names of that user other files or receiving some electronic mail.
