Abstract
Abstract 57In a computer system in which a plurality of user profiles exist which contain specifications relative to a variety of parameters, the capability is provided to access and edit a profile other than the one which is presently active for the system. While all other specifications of the active profile are honored during editing of a non-active profile, the color specifications of the non-active profile are honored during editing of the color attributes portion of the non-active profile. Then, upon leaving the editing of color attributes of the non-active profile, the color. attributes of the active profile are again honored for the remainder of the profile editing session.
