	abstract = {Since browsing hypertext can present a formidable cognitivechallenge, user interface design plays a major role in determining 
acceptability.  In the Unix workstation version of Hyperties, a 
research-oriented prototype, we focussed on design features that 
facilitate browsing.  We first give a general overview of Hyperties 
and its markup language.  Customizable documents can be 
generated by the conditional text feature that enables dynamic and 
selective display of text and graphics.  In addition we present:	
- an innovative solution to link identification: pop-out graphical 
buttons of arbitrary shape.	
- application of pie menus to permit low cognitive load actions that 
reduce the distraction of common actions, such as page turning 
or window selection.	
- multiple window selection strategies that reduce clutter and 
housekeeping effort.  We preferred piles-of-tiles, in which 
standard-sized windows were arranged in a consistent pattern on 
the display and actions could be done rapidly, allowing users to 
concentrate on the contents.
