4 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> SP'LAT provides a graphical environment where users can enter the SPL-plan specifications for the Penman generation system. This environment, including its SPL-plan templates and sentence bank, provides an easy way for Penman users, even novices, to create and maintain SPL plans. The SPL-plan templates display the necessary key-words for the particular type of plan, and SPLAT automatically enforces correct SPL syntax. The sentence bank provides the user with a convenient method for saving SPL plans and indexing them for later reuse.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Currently, a graphical upper-model browsing tool has been implemented and other resources are being developed.</Paragraph>
