Steve,

To my knowledge, the definitive book on Xerox Star technology, especially the
user interface ideas, is the following:

	"Office Systems Technology, A Look into the World of the Xerox 8000
	Series Products: Workstations, Services, Ethernet, and Software
	Development"

	published by the Xerox Office Systems Division
	November, 1982
	document number OSD-R8203

I believe the current address of the Office Systems Division is

	2100 Geng Road
	Palo Alto, Ca.  94303

but if you don't have any luck there, you can always reach then through PARC:

	Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
	3333 Coyote Hill Road
	Palo Alto, Ca.  94304

If all else fails, I have a copy of the book.  Actually the relevant UI papers
are:

	Smith, D.C., et. al., "Designing the Star User Interface," Byte, 7(4),
	April, 1982, pp.242-282.

	Smith, D.C., et. al., "The Star User Interface: An Overview," Proc.
	National Computer Conference, June, 1982, pp.515-528.

	Lipke, D.E., et. al., "Star Graphics: An Object-Oriented
	Implementation," Computer Graphics, 16(3), July, 1982, pp.115-124.
