Describes a dialog-program which uses basic statements available on a WANG 2200T version connected to a floppy-diskette to cross-reference a given set of keywords, author names, journal names, and specified reference numbers. Special program features are described and two references are listed. (Author/RBF)

The application of the "back-propagation" learning algorithm to the task of determining the right set of features corresponding to the words in an input sentence is described.

The program, STORY-LIST, generates alphabetized cumulative word lists by story number within a school grade. It is designed to read a group of cards until it finds a new grade/story number. Each word read is stored in an array, sorted, and an asterisk is added to each word in the array. This array is then merged with the old sorted word list and…
