Abstract: This paper describes the extension language for the GMW Window System. GMW is a virtual-machine-server-type window system in that a multi-tasking virtual machine, called M, is running inside the window server. A user of the window system can dynamically extend the protocol set between the server and the client by loading virtual code into the server. G is the language for describing applications that run inside the window server. A program written in G is compiled into virtual code of M. The characteristic features of G are: While it is a strongly-typed language, it support the facility of dynamic method search needed for object-oriented programming. It also has the facility of multi-tasking that is based on M. This paper describes the type system and the multi-tasking facility of G.
