Windows Interface Language (WIL) is an easy-to-use yet very powerful general-purpose programming language with over 500 functions for file management, sending keystrokes, disk drive management, directory management, binary file access, multimedia support, DDE support, clipboard handling, system control, program management, string handling, displaying information, user prompting, window management, floating point & integer arithmetic, execution control and more.

What would take pages of code in other languages is often taken care of by a single WIL function.

WIL scripts are written in a plain text file, which can be created by WinBatch Studio, Notepad or most word processors.

These text files can take one of two forms, depending on your particular implementation of WIL: batch files or menu files. Either way, a program written in Windows Interface Language (WIL) consists of a series of statements. WIL statements are constructed from constants, variables, operators, functions, commands, and comments.

In addition, WIL scripts can take advantage of advanced techniques such as substitution, passing parameters, and error handling.
