Abstract
One of the problems facing the designers of an electronic display and data processing apparatus is how to allow the user to perform various page management functions to, e.g. text or graphic documents, residing in the system. Examples of such functions are deleting a page or retrieving it from storage or moving it from one location to another or storing it for easy later retrieval. A particularly user friendly arrangement of an electronic display and a data processing apparatus includes a computer for storing data, and a display operable to be controlled by the computer to display a representation of a ring binder including at least one ring whereby when the user selects the ring of the ring binder the ring opens or closes.
