Abstract
A method of making programming changes using plain text requests. A requestor can request a programming change in plain text and the software program converts the plain text to programming code. The method includes steps of: (1) receiving a plain text request for a programming change; (2) verifying that the requestor is authorized to request the change; (3) interpreting the request; and (4) making the requested change. The software may send a confirmation to the requester before and/or after the programming change. If the confirmation is sent before the change, the software waits for a reply from the user instructing it to proceed with the change.
