Abstract
A radiotelephone ( ) has a display ( ) that efficiently presents information such as lists and text fields. For each list, the display ( ) presents a title message ( ) with unique identification markings ( ), an end-of-list indicator ( ), and a dynamic scroll indicator ( ) to indicate scrolling directions. A context-sensitive symbol ( ) is displayed whenever a context sensitive menu is available for a highlighted item. A search function is incorporated to allow expert users to quickly find information. A notepad feature allows the most recent string of user input data to be stored and recalled so that the data is not accidentally appended to subsequently entered data. Specialized data entry modes such as an editor screen ( ), an editor-with-list screen sequence, a set value list screen sequence, a toggle value screen sequence, and a form screen sequence provide efficient retrieval, display, and entry of information.
