In the STEPS project, our aim is to implement all software that is involved in the personal computing environment. with the idea to to reduce the accidental complexity in such activity and resulting code in our mind. The personal computing environment involves document authoring by end-users (imagine an Office-like application suite). Our past experiments was called ``Frank'' Document Editor, written in Smalltalk but our own graphical user interface (GUI) framework called LWorld
