    Abstract: In a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) network using a File Transfer Protocol in either binary mode (eg. XML or GIF files) or text mode (eg. ASCII data), the mode is determined automatically by comparing a portion of transfer file bytes to a character set of a location, language or operating system and downloading the file as text 107 if there is a correct match or binary 103 if not. The text may be a code page, warnings of missing characters may be given and the downloaded file may be edited or made read-only.

    Abstract: Controlling an application instance using a graphical user interface. In response to the application instance providing a user input control for accepting a command from the user, a corresponding user input control for display in a thumbnail representation of the application instance is generated. When a thumbnail representation of the application instance is displayed, the generated user input control is displayed with the thumbnail representation of the application instance. In response to a user giving a command using the generated user input control, a corresponding command is given to the application instance. An indication is provided to the user via an icon indicator displayed on the thumbnail that an application instance has a dialog box that requires a response. The thumbnail can provided message text and buttons to allow user to provide their desired response directly to the thumbnail without restoring the application instance.
