Abstract
Upon receipt of a message in a state of waiting to receive the message, the received message is stored in a RAM, and a message receipt information is performed. When a user presses down a push switch for the message receipt information, the received message is displayed on a LCD. At this time, when it is impossible to display the received message on the LCD at a time because of the long received message, a jog switch is manipulated by a user. When the user manipulates the jog switch 12, the message displayed on the LCD is scrolled depending on the direction of rotation of the jog switch and the quantity of rotation thereof. Of the scrolled message, the portion of the message before scrolling is underlined and displayed on the LCD.
