Abstract
A desktop programmable Graphical User Interface (GUI) workstation that can be easily programmed to perform a custom applications, without the need of text editor. In other words, programming the desktop programmable GUI workstation does not require the program user to utilize a text editor, create or edit code, or understand any particular programming language. The programmer user can program the workstation in an icon environment from predefined functions stored in libraries. Once programmed the workstation employs a GUI which provides an end user with an easy to use and easy to understand interface to their application specific process. The user interface is structured to organize work tasks by major activities of the application specific process. The workstation allows the user to integrate generic window technology such as word processing into their application specific process.
