  4. Thanks all for commenting!!!
    Susovan M got all correct.
    3.Its WYSIWYG
    Why not GUI
    Bravo, was a document preparation program for the Xerox Alto produced at Xerox PARC by Butler Lampson.But the software was first included in Xerox Star.
    The pic is that of document displayed in Xerox Star by using WYSIWYG technology.
