ABSTRACT:
An electronic work environment for a data processing system includes documentation modules which execute on the hardware elements of the system. The documentation modules exchange data between the software elements and hardware elements of the data processing system to produce interaction between the documentation modules and the data processing system. A common user interface module displays the results of the interaction between the software and hardware elements and the documentation modules. Accordingly, the documentation becomes part of the operating environment of the data processing system. The documentation modules are generalized documentation modules including online documentation for every possible configuration of the hardware and software elements of the data processing system. The electronic work environment electronically generates customized documentation modules based upon the actual configuration of the hardware and software elements of the system to which it applies, or in response to user queries. The customized documentation modules, or portions thereof, are displayed in response to user requests.
