	abstract = {We designed, implemented, and evaluated an innovative concept fordynamic queries which involves the direct manipulation of small databases.  
Our domain was directories in a Unix file system.  Dynamic queries 
allow users to formulate queries and explore the databases with 
graphical widgets, such as sliders and buttons, without requiring them 
to have any knowledge about the underlying structure of the database 
query languages, or command language syntax.  Three interfaces for 
presenting directories were developed and tested with eighteen subjects in a 
within-subject design.  The results of the formative evaluation yielded 
some useful guidelines for software designers.
