ABSTRACT
Window user interfaces such as MsWindow improve traditional command-line user interfaces. However, they do not directly support several important functions of command-line user interfaces. In this paper, further refinements for window user interfaces are proposed: (1) monitoring and ulitilizing standard output, (2) speeding up the invokation of general commands, (3) supporting both command arguments and piping capabilities, (4) facilitating online batch processing, and (5) supporting window-style remote control. According to above suggestions, a prototype for refined window user interface has been implemented. It operates in window-style to control remote UNIX platform and integrates FTP functions.
