ABSTRACT:
A computer system comprises a processor, a program memory, coupled to the processor, for storing programs executed by the processor, and a display, coupled to the processor, for displaying images under control of the programs executed by the processor. The programs stored in the program memory including at least one menu driven program for creating a graphical display on the display. Further, the computer system comprises a menu generating system, cooperating with the at least one menu driven program, for displaying a menu on the display. Each menu comprises a focus position, and a plurality of rings concentrically arranged around the focus position, each ring having at least one command heading displayed therein.
