title: A Rexx-controlled developing environment for implementing intuitive user interfaces (IUI).
abstract: In [our companion paper] intuitive user interfaces as well as a method for developing and programming such interfaces have been described. The present article will improve and simplify this mode of action. The main tool for this undertaking is the programming and script language Rexx. Using Rexx, all software components described in [the companion paper] are linked to form a developing environment, which acts like an integrated software package. Moreover, with the aid of Rexx, source-code and data structure generation is greatly extended, further decreasing the expenditure of programming intuitive user interfaces. This paper first gives a brief introduction to Rexx. A description of the Rexx-controlled developing environment then follows. Finally, there are elucidated the details of the question of how each single software component is linked to the environment using Rexx.
