                     The Display Application helps you tailor and use Expedite/CICS. 
                      It is a screen-driven interactive application you can use 
                      to send and receive data through Information Exchange as 
                      soon as Expedite/CICS is installed on your system. 
                     The Program Interface enables you to write customized 
                      and completely automated electronic data exchange applications 
                      in CICS. For example, you may have an application that creates 
                      purchase orders that are written to a Virtual Storage Access 
                      Method (VSAM) data set, a transient data queue (TDQ), or 
                      a temporary storage queue (TSQ).  
                     The Command Processor processes all commands sent to Information 
                      Exchange. When a purchase order is ready for delivery to 
                      Information Exchange, your application can invoke an Expedite/CICS 
                      send file command by linking to the command processor. 
                     The Batch Interface enables you to send data to Information 
                      Exchange that was previously created in a batch environment 
                      or to receive data from Information Exchange that can be 
                      processed later in a batch environment. 
                     The Activity Monitor provides a way to perform automatic 
                      session restart and recovery. The Activity Monitor is a 
                      background CICS transaction that runs regardless of the 
                      process method used (Display Application, user programs, 
                      or batch processing).  
                    With Expedite/CICS, you can perform the following tasks: |
