2036	 An Interactive Command Generating Facility	 A facility to permit conversationally controlled tasks to be executed in a noninteractive environment is proposed. A means by which programs can generate interactive time-sharing commands and receive the corresponding output response is presented. The commands will be invoked as if they had been typed at a console keyboard. It is argued that this facility will help overcome some of the current limitations in man-computer communication. A set of functions to accomplish the above which could be embedded into any string processing language is suggested and necessary information pertinent to implementation of the facility on existing time-sharing systems is given. time-sharing command languages pseudo-teletype interaction conditional job control operating systems
