This paper briefly describes a natural language programming system called NLC which allows users to type commands in English and watch the resulting actions carried out on a computer display screen. The data entities appear on the screen at all times, so that the user can observe the effect of each input before proceeding to the next one. Should some input ever be incorrectly processed, a backup facility allows requests to be clarified after restoring the previous context and data values. The user may identify a sequence of natural language commands as a procedure which, when given a name, acts as a new imperative verb and may be used to define further customizations.
