The age of the nonprogrammer user of computing systems is at hand, bringing with it the special need of persons who are professionals in their own right to have easy ways to use a computing system. Through the programming language discussed in this paper, executives and other office personnel can perform data and word processing and communications via terminals. This language, called Office-by-Example, provides rich and powerful access to the computing system computation, data base, communication, and display facilities. Discussed and illustrated by examples are a two-dimensional screen editor, triggers, and data bases, as well as word processing, electronic mail, customized menus, and application development.
