ABSTRACT:
A dynamic application editor builds new application definition entries for and edits existing application definition entries without a need for a user to have an innate knowledge of the exact method required to invoke applications. Application definition entries describe an application's initiation, execution, procedural command language, macro syntax, and communication capabilities in an application independent manner. The dynamic application editor automatically locates, or accepts user specified existing application definition entries and presents them in a user friendly user interface for the user to edit. The user can view existing application definition entries, cut, copy and paste between application definition entries, edit and delete application definition entries, or browse entire sections of the active application definition file. Application definition entries may be entered into the dynamic application editor and tested with or without committing the entry permanently to the application definition file. If an application fails, the dynamic application editor can be used to invoke a trace environment to detect the reasons for failure of an application. Once the application definition entry is corrected, the dynamic application editor allows the permanent storage of the entry in an application definition file.
