Abstract
A tape printing assembly for editing input data of up to 'n' lines which includes a main display formed to display the edited input data in 'p' lines, where ‘p’ is an integer between 1 to at most ‘n’−1. A display controller is adapted to control the editing procedure and display of the input data of a line currently being edited on the main display, while simultaneously indicating on an auxiliary display the line currently edited. In another aspect, a line number indicator, corresponding to a line of input data, is positioned proximate and adjacent to the line on the main display. Upon a selected portion of the input data being positioned within a display area, the line number indicator is positioned proximate to and moves with the selected portion. Upon the selected portion being scrolled beyond an end of the display area, the line number indicator is fixed relative the display area proximate the end thereof.
