The SYNGRAPH system automatically generates graphical user interfaces. It generates
interactive Pascal programs from a description of the input language's grammar. From the
grammar it deduces information about how to manage both physical and simulated devices,
and how prompting and echoing are performed. Input errors are detected, and can be
corrected using automatically provided rubout and cancel features. The natural integration of
application specific semantics into the system is also shown including appropriate semantic …
