Abstract
A system suitable for use on a computer network provides a user interface on a local node and an application to be run on a remote node. An application for accepting input from the user and translating it to appropriate commands for the remote application is divided, and located partially on the local node and partially on the remote node. That portion located on the local node gathers any information required from the user and transmits it to the portion located on the remote node in an efficient manner. The remote location portion uses the transmitted information to interface with the remote application and obtain results. The results are collected and transmitted to the local portion, from which they are returned to the user.
