Progress in understanding the nature and origin of cool star chromospheres and transition regions since the launch of IUE is reviewed. While previous observations in the visible and UV regions laid the foundations for present work, the nature of the IUE instruments and long operating lifetime led to substantial advances. The broad sample of objects obtainable with IUE at low spectral resolution allowed insights into the properties of chromospheres and coronae across the H-R diagram. High resolution spectra are used to model the structure and energy balance in a variety of stars. Trends in line fluxes are being understood in a quantitative manner allowing further insight into heating processes. Insights into the basic spectroscopy and atomic physics of cool giant and supergiant chromospheres are obtained.
