Abstract
Highlighting is typically used to draw individuals' attention to a particular area or word on a video display terminal menu. In many cases it serves a useful function. For example, highlighting can potentially speed the search for important information. However, highlighting can also slow the search for important information. Clearly, the function of highlighting is subverted when search times are slowed. The objective of the research to be reported is to develop a method for determining the optimal set of highlighted options in alphanumeric menus. This optimal set is defined as that set of options which produces the fastest search times for a given menu. The method can be used for any combination of highlighting attributes (e.g., reverse video, blinking, color).
