Can anyone give me a pointer to papers on application
software help systems known as "Scenario Machines" and
"Training wheels" I am looking for references on work that I
believe was done at the IBM Thomas J. Watson research center
by John M. Carroll, probably in the 1983-86 time frame.
A Training wheels system is a software package that has been
striped of is more dangerous commands and embellished with
additional help (sort of like 'edit' versus 'ex' in Berkeley
UNIX).
A Scenario Machine is a curriculum on using the software that
is latched on top of the software, so that the user can see a
scenario of how the software can be used.
Any help in locating such papers would be *greatly*
appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
