Abstract: A robot system has a teaching pendant with a display. The teaching pendant serves as an operation terminal for the robot system. An electronic manual is stored in the teaching pendant. A user's viewing operation enables the electronic manual to be displayed on the display. The electronic manual is described with a source code which includes text data to be displayed on the display and text data not to be displayed on the display. The text data not to be displayed consist of words or phrases associated with keywords included in the text data to be displayed. When a user's search specifies a word or phrase in the electronic manual, both text data are extracted from the source code to generate data for search, which are then subjected to search of the user's specified word or phrase.
