ABSTRACT:
A guess-ahead feature for an interactive terminal having a keyboard and a display screen where input data is entered via the keyboard and displayed. Means are provided for continually evaluating input data to determine if it is the beginning of a string of data stored in the system memory. If the input data is determined to match the beginning of the string of prestored data, the complete string of stored data is displayed without moving the cursor. A function key is provided so that if the displayed complete string is the string the terminal operator desires to enter, the terminal operator can, by the depressing the function key, advance the cursor to the end of the string. If, however, the displayed string is not exactly as desired, the operator merely continues keying input data.
