Abstract

Operating system command languages are addressed at the design level with the man-machine interface receiving considerable attention. Special attention is directed toward command languages for timesharing computer systems, again with emphasis placed on the interactions between the individual terminal user and the timesharing computer system. The papers addressing timesharing command languages identify several features important to the ongoing standardization efforts in this key area. In addition, the session contains a paper describing a high level language approach toward job control languages.
