ABSTRACT:
A system provides for the easy editing of wide files for convenient viewing of selected columns, through the use of a function key that invokes a window which lists multiple possible combinations of views of the file which can be selected to present a choice of fields to be viewed simultaneously on the same screen. The fields represent a collection of columns which are a subset of the columns of the entire file. The system presents selected columns of data in a narrow width to facilitate viewing, comprehending, and/or editing the data.
