The desktop. Lisa employs a highly visual user interface to portray an “electronic” desk-top. The menu bar can be seen at the top. Note that the “view” command list has been pulled down and the “pictorial” command selected.

The large window in the middle of the screen shows icons representing the various file folders contained on the ProFile hard disk. (Alphabetical & chronological listings of files on the disk appear in the window looking like conventional directory listings.) Icons at the bottom of the screen represent various devices (ProFile), desk-top tools (calculator) & resources (clipboard). All objects can be rearranged on the screen according to your own sense of space and placement.
