A finger52of the user is touched to a selection item such as desired button, icon, or the like on the display/sensor unit51aand vertically moved on the sensor unit51b. A selection display53constructed by a plurality of buttons is displayed along the side of the right side of the display screen by the LCD46. A button beside the finger52is highlighted and when the finger52is released, the highlighted button is selected. If there are no buttons adjacent to the finger52, the button is not highlighted.
