Abstract
Methods, data processing systems or program products which provide a user interface capable of inserting a reference marker at a point within an application window, causing a first representation of the reference marker to be displayed at that point and a second representation of the reference marker to be displayed in a scroll bar area within the application window which precisely corresponds to the location of the point. A pointing operation can be performed on the second representation of the reference marker causing the first representation of the reference marker along with the operating point to immediately appear within the application window. Additional reference markers may be inserted at additional points within the application window allowing the user to immediately find and display any point within the application window that the user has referenced with a reference marker. A pointing operation can be performed on the second representation of the reference marker to remove the reference marker from the application window. The characteristics of the reference marker, such as size, style, position, and color can be changed by performing another pointing operation on the second representation of the reference marker.
