An effective method for graphically presenting a display of a plurality of windows within the display of a digital information device. A form of tabbed window, called a "MetaView" permits users to define the location and size of a window by a single interaction with a MetaView tab (83-85). The invention offers improved utilization of screen real estate, and increased user convenience in accessing multiple window displays (142, 143).
