Abstract

This paper describes the design of the integrated user interface of the software development environment IPSEN (Integrated Programming Support Environment). We explain the characteristic features of the IPSEN user interface, namely the structured layout of the screen, the command-driven tool activation, and especially the highly integrated use of the IPSEN tool set. We demonstrate those features by taking a sample set of tools of the IPSEN environment. That tool set supports all the programming-in-the-small activities within IPSEN. Finally, we sketch the realization of two prototypes running on an IBM-AT and a net of SUN workstations.
