The process of communicating with a file from a terminal is Interrogation.
Computer Assisted Interrogation (CAINT) is a system of computer programs for use in man-machine communications. Its principal function is to enable a computer to elicit information from a man by interrogating him-asking him a program of questions where the program follows a logical course depending both on information available before the interrogation started and on that gained during the interrogation. The information acquired is intended to be put to immediate practical use, in updating a data base, generating reports, or driving other interrogations.
As pointed out earlier in Lesson 1, computers are dumb in that they only recognize zeros and ones. How can we communicate with such devices? The answer is that we use software to communicate with the computer. Software consists of programs which are sets of computer instructions that direct the computer to solve problems, perform tasks, etc. These programs are fed into the computer's memory through input devices, cause the CPU to perform certain operations and direct the results to output devices. Software can be divided into these general classes
