Abstract
For use in a personal computer provided with at least two independent applications made available to a user at a graphic user interface, a desktop located icon, one or more, is shown so that the user may easily implement the link into one or the other of the available applications. The icon is implemented by a click and drag manipulation. This provides a link to application independent material, e.g., audio or visual relational database material. The applications can be enhanced selectively by the user through the graphic user interface.
