According to the invention, a rectangular figure object in which a line width is set to '0.2 mm', a line type is set to 'solid line', and a line color is set to 'black' and which is filled by a pattern of a 'diagonal-1' of 'red' is pasted to a drawing sheet by using a mouse or the like by the user. After a character attribute 'dir' was pasted to the rectangular object by using a keyboard, for example, when an instruction to point the rectangular object by using the mouse or the like or to depress a button of the mouse while depressing a control key of the keyboard, or the like is performed, a command interpreter stored in a memory device is activated by a CPU, the character attribute 'dir' of the rectangular object is read out, the characters 'dir' are sent to the activated command interpreter, and the computer command 'dir' is executed, so that the above object can be accomplished.
