I am an alien to the Interlisp environment on the 1186, though I am responsible for administering the machines. I learn that there is some built-in capabilities in the Interlisp executive that allows (normally) mis-typed commands to be matched with defined calls. Would someone please tell me whether the *methodology* of this function/program is documented anywhere and what is the name of this function/program ? (Is is called the Programmer's Assistant ?) I would like to learn about the methodology that is being used and implement and perhaps improve it on another project developed in an non-Xerox environment. Appreciate any constructive information.
