displaying a graphical directional indicator having at least one graphical modifier in a computer operating environment in response to user input;

associating at least one graphic object with said graphical directional indicator;

analyzing at least said graphic object, said graphical directional indicator and said graphical modifier to determine whether a valid transaction exists for said graphical directional indicator, said valid transaction being a computer operation that can be performed in said computer operating environment; and

enabling said valid transaction for said graphical directional indicator if said valid transaction exists for said graphical directional indicator.
