The ability to deal with programs as data is a valuable feature of a programming language which can be advantageously exploited in a number of different applications, particularly in the artificial intelligence field and in the construction of programming environment tools. In this paper we describe the facilities for dealing with programs as data supplied by an extended PROLOG, called EnvProlog. Such facilities are considered from a meta-programming viewpoint and are based on the capability of the language to designate (object level) programs via structural descriptive names (i.e. program names and program structures)
