Abstract
A visual UNIX environment, IShell, based on the desktop metaphor is outlined. The programmability of the UNIX system is preserved at user level through an iconic language, IScript, based on a dataflow metaphor. The language and the environment is tightly coupled using gestures and visual cues to maintain the effectiveness of UNIX.<>
