There is. Then, the area display frame moving means 3 moves the mouse 1 to move the area display frame displayed on the sub-screen by the area display frame display means 4 as the mouse 1 moves. Further, the display changing means 5 reflects the content of the area shown in the area display frame moved by the area display frame moving means 3 on the main screen of the display device 2 and displays it.

FIG. 2 is a screen display diagram showing an example of a main screen and a sub screen of the display device 2 of this embodiment. Also, FIG.
6 is a flow chart showing an example of a scrolling-type operation of the screen editor of the present embodiment. Further, FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the area display frame moving means 3 of the present embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the area display frame displaying means 4 of the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the display changing means 5 of this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, in step 9,
In order to scroll the main screen 6 shown in FIG. 2, the cursor of the mouse 1 is moved onto the area display frame 8 of the sub screen 7.
Then, when the button of the mouse 1 is pressed in step 10, the area display frame moving means 3 is contacted in step 11.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, step 16
Then, while the button of the mouse 1 is continuously pressed, the current coordinate of the cursor of the mouse 1 is sent to the area display frame display means 4 in step 15.

Then, in step 12, since the area display frame display means 4 is contacted, as shown in FIG. 5, step 1
7, the area display frame display means 4 displays the received mouse 1
The area display frame 8 is displayed based on the current coordinates of the cursor of, and the display changing means 5 is called in step 18.

Then, in step 13, the display changing means 5
In step 19, as shown in FIG.
The display changing means 5 reads the data in the area display frame 8 and displays the data on the main screen 6 in step 20.

Then, when the button of the mouse 1 is released in step 10, the contents displayed on the main screen 6 are fixed in step 14.

[0017]
