area displays the web pages received by the computer system. The display
system includes display area controls that allow a user to select a
characteristic of the web pages to display in the display area.
User-specified settings associated with the displayed characteristic of
the web pages are stored in a storage area for subsequent recall and
automatic execution whenever a subsequent request for the web pages is
sent to the network. The display area displays the user-selected
characteristic of the web pages in response to these subsequent requests.
