Abstract
A data processing system is comprised of a display; a cursor control means connected to the display for displacement of a cursor represented on the display; and a user-interface means coupled to the cursor control means for user-manipulation of the cursor via the cursor control means. The cursor control means is operative to displace the cursor at a relatively low speed relative to the display during a predetermined time interval upon activation of the user-interface means and to displace the cursor at a relatively high speed after the predetermined time interval has elapsed.
