The Physics Analysis Workstation (PAW), a high-level program providing data presentation and statistical or mathematical analysis, is described. PAW has been developed at CERN to assist physicists in the analysis and presentation of their data. The graphical functions in PAW are based on a high-level interface to underlying basic graphic systems. 3-D graphics capabilities are being implemented. The major objects in PAW are one- or two-dimensional binned event data with a fixed number of entries per event, vectors, functions, graphics pictures, and macros. Command input is handled by an integrated user-interface package, which allows a variety of choices for input, either with typed commands or in a tree-structured menu-driven mode.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
