Abstract
This invention concerns an interactive interface description tool that uses an interpreted language in which both the data and the programs have a similar representation, This tool also has an interpreter that is embedded with the interface description program, This interpreter consists of a mixture of "C" language and interpreted language instructions and uses a library ("X/MOTIF") of interactive command objects ("widget") and a library of graphical objects ("GO").
