1. A method of controlling help-information of an information handling system having a central processing unit (CPU) for executing programs and memory means, input means, and display means connected to the CPU, comprising the steps of: renewing successively status pointers each of which points to an executing status stored in a status management table in response to execution of a corresponding application program; referring to said status management table in response to a help request provided from an operator during execution of an application program to obtain an executing status pointed to by a status pointer corresponding to said application program; and searching help data corresponding to said executing statuses using said obtained executing status of said status management table to display help-information corresponding to said obtained executing status of said application program on the display means; wherein said status management table stores said executing statuses each of which includes a message identifier corresponding to an executing status of one of said application programs to be executed in the CPU; wherein said status pointer stores pointers each pointing to an executing status stored in said status management table corresponding to an executing status of an application program to be executed in the CPU.
