Programs stored in memory devices associated with microcontrollers controlling a display to a user are constructed in a language which uses layered statements, each of which can have a description portion, an action portion, and a unique connecting character.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION With the above discussion in mind, it is one purpose of this invention to assist a person preparing programs to be executed in a system environment which has limitations imposed on memory capacity and/or screen display area in accommodating to those limitations.
This purpose is sought through the provision of a programming structure which is particularly efficient.
A further purpose of this invention is to enable interaction with a network such as the world wide web, in a consumer or PDA system of the types described, through the cooperation of a microcontroller executing programs, including application programs, stored in memory of the system supported.
The programs, in accordance with this invention, have a particular structure in which each program has at least two layered statements, with the statements being of particular types and having particular characteristics as described more fully hereinafter.
The program structure particularly facilitates a user interface which makes navigation through the display selection process easier for a user.
