Abstract
SYNICS2 is a User Interface Management System (UIMS) using the concept of Recursive Transition Networks (RTN) for its control structure. It is used as an intelligence terminal would be, being situated between the computer application program and the end user's interface device. It controls the hardware device and allows the application to be relatively free from hardware dependent coding. The result is that the application interface model can be simplified and allow the user interface to be tailored to a standard so that all applications have a uniform view. Generated graphical output is based on the Graphical Kernel System (GKS). This paper is concerned with the facilities in SYNICS2 for the use of graphical input and output.
