TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
WYSIWYG or "what you see is what you get" was used to refer to interface.
Before the user-friendly Windows interface, while working with the DOS
interface, (black screen at DOS prompt) you could not see what you were
going to get. Typically, you would type in commands, and then print to see
the results.
