Abstract
A control system presents to a user, in the user's native language, the list of acceptable functions that a word processing system can perform. After the user selects the name of the desired function, the control system automatically builds a list of control parameters for executing the selected function and presents these control parameters to the user. Each of the control parameters has a range of values associated with it. The user may select the predetermined set of "standard" values which are the first presented for each parameter, or may cause each parameter in turn to present its range of values, any one of which may be selected. The selected parameters are then converted to machine usable language and inserted into the selected function program.
