Abstract

The names in a directory stored in a personal terminal having a display are displayed as groups of names in which illustratively the first name in each group of names serves as a displayed tab which is pointed to by the user to display the respective group of names. The individual tabs are dynamically changed to conform with any change in the first name of the respective groups of names that may occur as a result of a change in the composition of the directory.
