TEIRESIAS is a program designed to function as an assistant in the task of building large, knowledge-based systems. It embodies a particular model of interactive transfer of knowledge from a human expert to the system, and makes possible knowledge transfer in a high level dialog conducted in a restricted subset of natural language. This paper explores an example of TEIRESIAS in operation, and demonstrates how it guides the acquisition of new inference rules. The concept of meta-level Knowledge is described, and an illustration given of its utility and contribution to the creation of intelligent programs.
