We are constructing a new visual script language system called VACL. The purpose of this script language system is to perform batch operation efficiently on the graphical user interface(GUI) environment and to extend GUI applications. This system represents a script program as a 'post- it(fusen)' on a display. A user can launch the script program by attaching the fusen onto the window of the appropriate application. We call this kind of execution mechanism 'fusen metaphor'. This script language system has four major benefits. First, the script program to control application can be written transparently from the application and in a highly abstract manner. Second, a script program that extends an application can be written transparently from the application. Third, the fusen metaphor enhances the reusability of the script program and provides the hyper text programming environment. Fourth, by describing the script program in visual, the programmer can describe the two dimensional GUI application object in natural and in easy form.
