  Maybe, but I’ve searched for it many times out of curiosity, but have never managed to locate it online, and wouldn’t know if paper copies exist. From Wikipedia, I get to https://web.archive.org/web/20010204033600/http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/Shelves/CEESL002 https://web.archive.org/web/20010204033600/http://publib.bou... That has one live link: https://web.archive.org/web/20010107084700/http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/F29BDG00/CCONTENTS https://web.archive.org/web/20010107084700/http://publib.bou..., but from there, the trail runs dead. Do you have a link?

    This one maybe? https://archive.org/details/ibm-saa-cua-basic-interface-design-guide/page/n131/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/ibm-saa-cua-basic-interface-desi... PDF link in the box on the right.

      pdf contains plenty of labels "PICTURE 73 HERE" but not pictures. That's pretty important for a book about UI...

      Thanks! No pictures and way uglier than Apple’s HIG book, but much more than I ever found.
