ABSTRACT:
A line probe function within an iconic programming system. During execution of the iconic program, the user of the system can use mouse or keyboard input to select the line probe function. When selected, the line probe stops the processing of the iconic system and displays a message asking the user to select a connecting line, an icon input terminal, or an icon output terminal. When the user selects one of these, the line probe obtains information from the object about data the object contains. The line probe then creates a dialog box on the windowing system used by the iconic programming system, displays the information along with a pushbutton, and waits for user input. The user may input data to modify the information displayed, and when the user clicks on the pushbutton, the line probe erases the dialog box and continues processing the iconic program.
