Reply to Sheb's flames:

No there is no direct relationship between window systems and expert
systems.  However, the goal of these vendors is to sell software
systems that make it easy to CONSTRUCT, DEBUG, and USE expert systems.
We know that high bandwidth between programmer and program makes it
easier to construct and maintain a program.  Similarly, high bandwidth
(properly employed) makes it easier to use a program.  The goal is to
reduce the cognitive load on the user/programmer, not to strive for
maximizing the cognitive load on the program.

Good software is 90% interface and 10% intelligence.
