I think you hit the nail on the head here.  It need not even be
graphical, but merely menu- or template-driven.  UIUC's notesfile system
(which is used extensively here at Langley) provides a reasonable
interface for maintainers, although I'm sure better ones could be
devised.

At any rate, after several hours of mucking around with FLAMES, I
decided I could live with a simpler permission scheme than I had
originally envisioned, and I reverted to using some of the canned
library routines.
