Abstract
The present invention manages the display of information provided by a computer program on a display terminal. The invention provides a display management module that operates as an intermediate module between the computer program and the display terminal. The display management module interprets display commands from the computer program and controls the display terminal to display the desired information. Associated with the display management module are a group of data modules that include the text and graphical data used by the computer program to display information on the display terminal. To display information, the display management module receives a command from the computer program to display the information. Based on the command, the display management module retrieves the data from the data modules and displays the data on the display.
