Abstract

A method, system and program for providing help information to assist in using an object oriented operating system. The help technique is also oriented to the particular area on the screen that is indicated by a portion of the help information. When a user drags as object on a display screen and drops the object in close proximity with another object, a help display is presented with an indicator pointing to the associated area on the display.
The help display provides information on the viability of the drop action and aids the user in navigating through the operation. In a preferred embodiment, the help display is presented in a balloon display pointing to the objects upon which the operation is transpiring.
