  • Patent number: 4689737
    Abstract: A computer system including text input and display devices. A display manager receives text from the input device and causes the display device to display that text on a first display level. The display manager also causes other display levels to be displayed so that they are perceived as being successively posteriorly positioned relative to the first level. Text received from the input device is also accumulated and compared to previously stored text segments to cause performance of program task elements that are associated with the stored text segments matching the received text. The display manager causes text produced by the performed task elements to be directed to and perceptually represented on the appropriate posterior display levels.
