title: The Menu Workbench: an automatic menu generator for bio-medical programs.
abstract: A program development tool, The Menu Workbench, is described and applied to the computer screen architecture, menu design, and program management of bio-medical programs. Prerequisites for the approach to these problems are presented. An intuitive screen menu system, developed for the program, Immuno-Ligand Analysis System (ILAS), is described in the text. Standardized screen layout and keyboard interaction is explained. The programming of this system of menus was automated with the program, Menu Workbench, in the Turbo PASCAL language in PCDOS, MSDOS and CP/M operating systems. Use of the Menu Workbench program in other bio-medical applications is discussed.
