                          ABSTRACT


     Availability of  computers  to  a   large   number   of
non-technical users  during  the last decade has resulted in
an ever  increasing  demand   for   user-friendly    systems
and  software.   The  pioneering  work  of Xerox Corporation
on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) has become a  tool   for
many system manufacturers to build intuitive and easy-to-use
GUIs for users  with  a   broad   diversity   of   technical
skills.   Today,   personal   computers,   workstations  and
departmental systems offer at least  one  flavor  of  a  GUI
toolkit.   Virtually all  of the toolkits in the market have
been initially written for the English  language.   A  small
number   of   elements in  any toolkit are language indepen-
dent because they are based on graphical  images.   However,
most  of  a  toolkit's  elements  read  or  write  text  and
are therefore  language  dependent.   There  has  been  much
effort   to   internationalize  GUI   toolkits   and   major
advancements  have  been  made to address the needs of Euro-
pean   and   far  eastern  languages.  But so far, a Persian
GUI toolkit based on a standard ``look and feel'' technology
has  not  been  available.

     In  this paper,  we  will  present  a  complete  object
oriented  Persian  toolkit  for  the  X  Window System  that
implements  the  OPEN LOOK specification.
