A Prolog user interface for the steering of the off-line software of a high energy physics experiment is described. It performs the syntax check of the commands, and triggers the execution of adequate Fortran subroutines to execute the required actions. Available facilities include display of objec

โฆ Synopsis
Only in the last few years have computers used for high energy physics analysis allowed their users significant access to the CPU in an interactive mode. This capability has led to the development of the analysis system IDA, now widely used at SLAC for DST analysis. There are two elements to the system: a fonnat for describing data whereby each element is given a name, and elements are grouped into structures reflecting the structure of the parent analysis program; and a stand-aline program allowing the user to interactively create plots involving any function of the saved quantities, subject to any condition.
