Program generation and transformation systems manipulate large, parameterized object language fragments. Support for user-definable concrete syntax makes this easier but is typicaUy restricted to certain object and meta languages. We show how Prolog can be retrofitted with concrete syntax and describe how a seamless interaction of concrete syntax fragments with an existing "legacy" meta-programming system based on abstract syntax is achieved. We apply the approach to gradually migrate 'the

... as of the AUTOBAYES program synthesis system to concrete syntax. F i t experiences show that this can result in a considerable reduction of the code size and an improved readability of the code. In particular, abstracting out fresh-variable generation and second-order term construction allows the formulation of larger continuous fragments and improves the "locality" in the schemas.
