摘要
The proliferation of graphical user interfaces has had a dramatic impact on the ability of the blind to work as programmers. it is particularly difficult for the blind to design forms for programs written in Visual Basic. A scripting language is introduced that enables the blind to create Visual Basic forms without the need to specify all the detailed information that visual Basic requires and without the "point: and click" approach that the blind cannot: use. The syntax of the language is described and future plans, including the expansion of the language and testing are discussed.
