ARITHMETIC MENU FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM Abstract of the Disclosure An information processing system (10) includes a terminal (12) with a display screen (16) and a keyboard (18). The terminal (12) operates in conjunction with a diskette storage (14). An arithmetic menu is prepared which represents a mathematical function and includes an answer item, at least one operand item and optionally a mathematical operation item. The arithmetic menu further includes an equation line (40). When the system operator creates a document which requires a mathematical function the arithmetic menu can be called up from memory. The operator enters parameter terms for each of the items in the memory. As the operator enters the parameters for the arithmetic elements, these parameters are displayed on the equation line (40) in an algebraic format. The operator monitors the equation line to insure that the appropriate parameters are being entered and that the correct mathematical function is being utilized. After the parameters are entered into the arithmetic menu the mathematical operation is carried out and the results are incorporated into the document being prepared by the operator. AT9-81-023
