The following paper demonstrates that programmed sequential graph grammars can be used in a systematic proceeding to specify the changes of high level intermediate data structures arising in a programming support environment, in which all tools work in an incremental and syntax-driven mode. In this paper we lay stress upon the way to get the specification rather than on the result of this process. Therefore, we give here some approach to specification engineering using graph grammars. This approach is influenced by the syntactical definition of the underlying programming language or module concept etc. to be supported but also by the idea of the user interface.
