Abstract

Abstract A method for displaying on a display device (1) a monthly calendar annotated with exterior current day narrative notes (7) and embedded abbreviated notes. Notes related to a specific day can be prepared on a time independent basis by calling, and keying to, a dayly file (4) for the specific day. In addition, keying is used to distinguish between normal and special notes which are to be later displayed in abbreviated and narrative forms, respectively. Upon the occurrence ofthe specific day and the calling of a calendar screen, the notes are displayed along with an updated calendar. Special notes appear as narrative footnotes (7) and normal notes appear in abbreviated form with the day indications. In the absence of further day screen calling and keying, the footnotes changed on a daily basis, while the abbreviated notes remain fixed.
