DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Prior Art Field) The present invention relates to a 1R2!2 display device in which the display screen of a computer in simple language is divided into multiple parts by a simple operation of a keyboard. It is made so that it can be displayed.

(Background of the Invention) Conventionally, in order to change a computer's data processing method or data output format, a programmer or other expert had to change the computer program. Even if you want to show multiple display screens (also called windows) for 7 minutes while using , a general user without specialized knowledge of computer programming can display only 7 minutes!
4 Display processing could not be performed.

(Purpose of the Invention) The present invention was invented under these circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to enable even general users without specialized knowledge of computers to divide the display screen into multiple parts by simple keyboard operations. The purpose is to

(Summary of the invention) The present invention provides a display screen (
For split display of windows (hereinafter referred to as windows), a command with a window splitting function is provided, and by inputting this command from the keyboard, the processing procedure necessary for window splitting processing is displayed step by step. The system prompts the user to input the necessary data, and the user then performs keyboard operations according to the displayed procedure (1) to display split windows.

(One embodiment of the invention) Next, the present invention will be explained in detail.

A summary of the window division instructions (hereinafter abbreviated as WIN) used in the present invention is as follows.

Command Function description WIN...Divide a specified window, erase the window with the highest divided window number, or create a colored window frame? create. In addition, scroll the screens of different windows at the same time.

The command WINf> function consists of the following work procedure and performs window division processing.

Work procedure From the above work procedure, the operation of the command WIN can be broadly divided into the following four parts.

1. Dividing a window 2. Erasing the window with the lowest window number 3. Creating a colored window frame 4. The following work steps are stored in a storage device (not shown): A process is executed by a control unit (not shown) to divide the display screen into a plurality of sections.

Next, the case where the command WIN is input from the keyboard will be explained. As shown in Figure 111, when the prompt [Enter command] is displayed on window 1, when the command WIN is input from the keyboard, the control section executes the work of the command WIN stored in the storage device. The procedure is called and becomes active.

First, window 7 is activated by the active work procedure of command WIN.
1 changes from the prompt state to [Divide [11, Join (21, Window frame [3 [, Reun!t! J+L4]?J]), and the cursor 2 blinks to prompt the operator to input.Divide [1
1 indicates the division of windows, merging [21 indicates the deletion of the window with the largest window number], window frame [31 indicates the creation of a colored window frame, interlocking 1.41 indicates interlocking scrolling between windows of n. These operations are performed by inputting the numerical value of each operation.

Now, if you enter the number ``1'' from the keyboard to divide the window, window 1 will be 1 - What is the window number? ] is displayed, prompting the operator to enter the number of the window to be divided. In this case, since this is the first division and there is only one window, the window number is "1".The window number is "1". is the first
It is displayed at the upper left corner of window 1 shown in the figure. Therefore, input the number "1" from the keyboard.

When you enter the number "1" from the keyboard, "Vertical [11, Horizontal [2]?J]" will be displayed in window 1 to decide whether to split vertically or horizontally.
Prompt the operator to make a selection. The operator inputs the numerical value "1" from the keyboard if he wants to divide in the vertical direction, and the numerical value r2J if he wants to divide in the horizontal direction.

When any numerical value is input, a window is displayed on the wine toe 1 to prompt the input of data on the position to divide the window 1 in order to decide from which position in the twin window 1 the window should be divided.

Now, if you enter the number ``1'' to divide vertically from the keyboard, the message ``Position to divide? (line number or number of characters)j'' will be displayed in window 1. The number of digits is displayed horizontally at the top.
・Ning・・1 jar 1・・wood・・・・2・・′・・7・・
``Car...'' is displayed, and the number indicates the number of digits in the 10th place.

Now, to split vertically from line 40, enter the number [40] from the keyboard. As shown in Figure 2, window 1 will be split into window [113 and window [214], and window 1 will prompt [command]. [Please enter] is displayed. In this case, the numerical value "40" indicates the number of characters.

To further divide window [113, window [214], use the command WIN
Enter , specify the desired window number, and repeat the same operation.

Operations such as scrolling and displaying for each window [1] 3 and window [214] are performed by moving the window-specified cursor (not shown) to the number display of each window using the appropriate function keys on the keyboard. 113, specify window [214.

Next, the case of erasing the split window display will be explained.

When you input the command WIN from the keyboard, Window 1 displays the message "Split [11, Join [21, Window frame [31, Interlock [41?]]".
] is displayed, and if you enter the number [21] from the keyboard, in this case, the largest window number is [21, so the window of window 1 [214 disappears], and window 1 is displayed as shown in Figure 2. The display state of window 1 returns to the display state of one window 1 shown in FIG.

Then luck of scrolling between different windows! I! Similarly, for IJ setting, first input the command WIN from the keyboard.
