A user interface system for presenting information to a user involves a
display processor for initiating generation of data representing an
image. The image includes multiple adjacent rows of visible user
selectable tabs individually incorporating a tab function identifier
identifying a function associated with a respective tab. An individual
tab is selectable by a user to initiate presentation of an image area in
an image window and presents information concerning a function identified
by a tab function identifier of a selected tab. An individual row of
visible user selectable tabs includes multiple user selectable tabs
together with a non-user selectable label. The non-user selectable label
includes information associated with the multiple user selectable tabs on
the individual row. A command processor initiates generation of data
representing an update of the image to include an image area in an image
window and present information concerning a function identified by a tab
function identifier of the selected tab in response to user selection of
the selected tab.
