Abstract;This paper describes the end-users programming system that generates computer programs through interaction using linguistic expressions with users who have little knowledge of computer programming. The present system employs the idea of computer programming by paraphrasing, which is usually used as human's everyday communication. The system also employs the case-based reasoning method for paraphrasing so that users can add the meanings of linguistic expressions that the system does not have. Two subject experiments are carried out in order to confirm the usefulness of the present system. The one task is simple text editing and the other task is more complex one. Ten subjects in all perform the experiments and the experimental results are discussed in this paper. (author abst.)
