An interactive user interface for a computer controlled system to simplify browsing and navigating through information structures. The interface uses a split-pane icon on a window scroll bar, or input and output icons on a window title bar. When activating the split-pane icon by dragging a selected object to it, a new pane opens up displaying the contents of the object. Where a first or second pane exists, dragging a selected object to the first or second panels input icon, or dragging the output icon of the first pane to the second panels input icon, will display the contents of a selected object in the first or second pane respectively. Other ways of controlling the displays in the same or different windows or panes are also described.
