Here's some fun stuff about NeWS and screen snapshots of the HyperTies hypermedia browser and Emacs authoring tool that I scanned (after printing them out as slides for a talk, then losing the original images) -- HyperTIES supported formatted hypertext, raster, and PostScript graphics, with plug-in extensible interactive "applets" programmed in PostScript, including pie menus, pop-up embedded image targets, widgets, form controls, scrolling text editors, etc. These screen snapshots were slides for a talk about building user interfaces in NeWS, using HyperTIES to explain and demonstrate itself and the technology it was implemented with:

And here are some ideas about visual programming and programming by demonstrations that I was thinking about while developing PSIBER, like a visually programmable window shell environment:
