TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
CUA stands for Common User Access, one of IBM's
Systems Application Architecture (SAA) architectures.
CUA is the one that deals with guidelines for consistency
in interface design (or communication between a user
and the terminal or workstation). I don't know whether
anyone besides IBM puts out manuals on how to apply
CUA guidelines, but I suppose you could always order
one directly from them (I may be able to scrounge up
a telephone number if you're interested).
