She could be talking about Bliss Symbolics, or something similar.  I
believe it was created almost as an IAL, but I'm really not sure.  It
was supposed to be very logical and systematic (Bliss, the creator, was
a chemist, so he used things that made sense to him through his wokr as
a scientist).  I just recently came across a web page on it, but now
that I'm searching yahoo again I can't find anything at all.
