Re: UIM Help needed

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

UIM is a tag language, as is HTML and XML. They may even have some 
common origin. I have wished there were a UDA (UIM Design Aid) 
similar to SDA but there is not. Help and menus are fairly easy to 
work with from a template, and those can be found in QUSRTOOL. And 
the Application Display Programming manual is the definitive documentation.
