Following presentations from three invited participants, working groups were formed to discuss and formulate positions regarding issues selected from a list compiled as a result of a 1983 meeting of system designers. Following a summary and preface the document comprises seven sections: (1) Introduction and Background; (2) Synopsis of the Meeting (includes a summary of a presentation by Charles Hildreth); (3) "Command Languages and Codes" (Michael Monahan); (4) "Screen Displays for Public Online Systems" (Joseph R. Matthews); (5) Summary of Working Group Observations and Recommendations; (6) Summary of Meeting Observations and Recommendations; and (7) Concluding Remarks. Each of the four working groups discussed issues related to command languages and codes and to displays and messages, and reported their observations and recommendations. A meeting agenda, a list of participants, and discussion topics of the working groups are appended. (THC)
