Abstract
Abstract A method of, and system for, controlling a view of window information upon editing the information. The view is controlled based on mode selection. For normal information input operation, information scrolling is selected (28). Related existing information adjacent the newly input information will be viewable, but remote information will eventually be scrolled out of the window. For those instances where all existing information is to remain viewable upon input of additional information, border scrolling will result in a varying of the size of the window (29).
