Abstract

See full text

A system for displaying 'help' information concerning the functioning of the controls of an electronic system. A 'help' control is provided which, when operated, places the system in a 'help' mode. When the system is in the 'help' mode, system controls are disabled from performing their normal function and, in response to the operation of a control and were appropriate to an indication of the current state of the system, a selected 'help' text is displayed. The system is adapted to operate for both analog and digital controls and to provide the 'help' text in a window on the display so that normal operation of the system may continue while the 'help' text is being displayed.
