• displaying a cursor within a first window on the display, the first window having edges and displaying a document;
• in response to movement of a pointing device, moving the cursor within the first window;
• if the cursor comes within a particular distance of an edge of the first window, scrolling the document;
• in response to a first command and in response to movement of the pointing device, moving the cursor beyond the first window;
• enlarging the cursor in response to the first command;
• after moving the cursor beyond the first window, if the cursor comes with a particular distance of an edge of a second window and in response to a second command, scrolling a document in the second window;
• in response to the second command, shrinking the cursor.

A method of navigating on a display of a web browser for use with a network, the method comprising:

• displaying a cursor within a first portion of the display, the first portion having edges and displaying a first portion of information obtained via the network;
• in response to movement of a pointing device, moving the cursor within the first portion of the display;
• if the cursor comes within a particular distance of an edge of the first portion of the display, scrolling the information in direction of movement of the cursor;
• in response to a first command and in response to movement of the pointing device, moving the cursor beyond the first portion of the display;
• in response to a second command,
• moving the cursor within a second portion of the display, the second portion including a second portion of information from the world wide web, and
• if the cursor comes within a particular distance of an edge of the second portion of the display, scrolling the additional information in the direction of movement of the cursor;

A system for navigating on a display, the system comprising:

• logic that displays a cursor within a first portion of the display, the first portion having edges and displaying a portion of information;
• logic that, in response to movement of a pointing device, moves the cursor within the first portion of the display;
• logic that, if the cursor comes within a particular distance of an edge of the first portion of the display, displays at least a partially different portion of the information;
• logic that, in response to a command and in response to movement of the pointing device, moves the cursor beyond the first portion of the display;
• and
• logic that enlarges the cursor in response to the command, and shrinks the cursor in response to a second command that causes information to be scrolled in a second portion of the display if the cursor comes within a particular distance of an edge of the second portion of the display.
