Abstract
Online manual display mechanisms that display a portion of a manual during execution of an application program are available conventionally. However, those manuals are not easy to use because manual display cannot be performed so as to follow execution of an application program or a proper portion cannot be opened. The invention provides a unified means for realizing a function displaying a manual portion corresponding to a manipulation for each program by providing, as a manual management mechanism, a graphical user interface to be used for registering manipulation units and a manual as well as APIs that can be referred to by an application program during its execution. The invention also provides a means for downloading a manual from its storage site over the Internet.
