Sitting in the lobby of a hotel a young man ponders what to make of his day while five thousand miles away from home. Looking around his eyes are caught by the screen of a kiosk showing short clips and titles stating "local listings and area interests." The capabilities behind the General Directory running under Surf Touch in this particular kiosk has just opened the door for not only a money market in advertising but also for the information this young lad can obtain.

From local fancy restaurants to simple fast foods, professional golf to the local Goofy Fun Center for the family; interests, dining, department stores, local carnivals, and public events can all be read from an amazingly simple to complex database. Information from opportunities to directions are displayed at the end of an enquiry. Branching down from a variety of different pathways of organization utilizing a powerful menu generator, the General Purpose Directory (GPD) is capable of all database needs viewing selected data in a very flexible manor.
