The increasing request for astronomical data processing facilities forces the definition of standards for astronomical application software. Separating the application module from the interfaces to the data processing system allows to identify the standard user interaction interface, the standard data storage interface, the standard dedicated subsystems interface and the standard on-line documentation interface. We tested a tentative integrated solution that fulfills these requirements. This solution includes colour graphics and is available to the astronomical community.
