An interactive user interface for a computer controlled system to simplify browsing and navigating through information structures. The interface uses a split-pane icon (38, 39) on a window scroll bar, or inp ut (42) and output (43) icons on a window title bar (41). When activating the split-pane icon (38, 39) by dragging a selected object to it, a new pane opens up displaying the contents of the object. Where a first (50) or second (51) pane exists, dragging a selected object to the first or the second pane's input icon (56), or dragging the output icon (57) of the first pane (50) to the second pane's input icon (56), will display the contents of a selected object in the first (50) or second (51) pane respectively. Other ways of controlling the displays in the same o r different window or panes are also described.
