ABSTRACT:
In a data processing system having a display, a position indication on a screen of the display, an input unit for inputting data including characters and symbols, and a unit to execute processing in which the execution modes are configured in a hierarchic structure, a mode hierarchic figure is displayed on the screen of the display, the indication position of the operator in the mode hierarchy figure is detected, a destination mode is calculated from the detected information and data representing correspondences between the mode names and positions on the screen, and a mode change is achieved, thereby facilitating the mode transition between modes configured in a complex multilevel hierarchic structure.
