摘要： A method of graphically customizing menu displays. A selected menu or pulldown menu display having multiple menu entries is displayed. An operator then graphically designates a particular menu entry and thereafter elects a customizing option. In the depicted embodiment of the present invention the customizing options are displayed as elements of a customizer screen and include options such as: copy; cut; paste, restore; clear; and file. By utilizing this method the operator may move or delete a menu entry or alter the textual appearance of a menu entry. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the operator may also elect to identify a particular menu entry with a single selected keystroke for accelerated selection of that menu entry during operation.

摘要： A method is disclosed for providing a dynamic tutori­al display for assisting a computer operator in the utili­zation of a selected interactive software application. A tutorial processing program is provided and is resident between the operating system and a selected interactive software application, acting as a filter therebetween. A sequence of desired operator inputs, such as keystrokes or mouse movements, is recorded by the tutorial processing program along with an indication of the elapsed time between each input. In response to an operator request for assistance, the tutorial processing program couples each recorded input in a selected sequence to the interac­tive software application, in sequence in accordance with the recorded elapsed time indications. In practice, the software application will then respond in a manner identi­cal to the response generated by human inputs. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tutori­al processing program also includes a provision for re­cording a plurality of textual or audible descriptive elements within the sequence of operator inputs.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于提供用于辅助计算机操作者利用所选交互式软件应用的动态教程显示的方法。 提供教程处理程序，并且驻留在操作系统和选择的交互式软件应用程序之间，用作它们之间的过滤器。 教程处理程序记录一系列期望的操作者输入，例如按键或鼠标移动以及每个输入之间经过的时间的指示。 响应于操作者的帮助请求，辅助处理程序根据所记录的经过时间指示，将所选序列中的每个记录输入按顺序耦合到交互式软件应用程序。 实际上，软件应用程序将以与人类输入产生的响应相同的方式进行响应。 在本发明的优选实施例中，教程处理程序还包括用于在操作者输入序列内记录多个文本或听觉描述元素的设置。
