Serpent is a user interface management system (UIMS) that supports the development and implementation of user interfaces, providing an editor to specify the user interface and a runtime system that enables communication between the application and the end user. This document describes Saddle, the language used to specify interfaces between an application and Serpent. Included is information on creating Saddle files (files that define the data shared by the application and the user interface) and executing Saddle.
