CyberDesk IUI Scenario #1: Simple

Please wait until all of the applets finish loading before starting to interact with CyberDesk. Also, note that by following one of the links below and returning to this page, you will be creating a new instantiation of CyberDesk. Please remove all CyberDesk windows when leaving this page (ActOn window, e-mail message windows, etc) to make it less confusing when you return.

CyberDesk Services Being Loaded

The services loaded with this scenario are the e-mail browser, contact manager, AltaVista, Netscape, SwitchBoard, and converters that recognize strings, names, e-mail addresses, and URLs.

  3. Click on the 6th e-mail message, press the "View Message" button and read the e-mail message

  6. Select "Gregory Abowd" in the message with your mouse
  7. Select the "Lookup in Contact Manager" option and see that the entry does not exist
