Abstract

User interface design issues are discussed for a large interactive system. The assumptions about the user environment are explicitly described. Issues discussed include command language syntax, command recognition and completion, subsystem organization, user extension capabilities, user options, and various forms of prompting, help and feedback. These issues are discussed within the context of an existing system, the NLS system.
