120801 - Follow up ref SDS 28 0001
120802 -
120803 - Integrated feature that maintains directory for transfer to the
120804 - Interent.  This will eliminate about 1000 clicks a day, relieves
120805 - stress of not knowing for sure if transfer directory needs
120806 - maintenance.  New procedure incorporates maintenance that deletes
120807 - previously transferred files, as part of process of creating new
120808 - transfers.

121204 -
121205 - Follow up ref SDS 28 7842, ref SDS 19 2548.
121206 -
121207 - Functionality is explained on 000810, ref SDS 28 6E4M, and previously
121208 - on 990729. ref SDS 19 3465
121209 -
121210 - We have three tasks....
121211 -                ..
121212 -            1.  Convert SDS record or other file for transfer.
121213 -
121214 -            2.  Check status transfer directory, showing what has been
121215 -                transferred, and what is pending.
121216 -                ..
121217 -            3.  Maintain transfer directory by deleting
121218 -                transferred files and ws_ftp.log log files that
121219 -                designate what has been transferred.
121220 -
121221 -  ..
121222 - Today, will incorporate step 3 with step 1, so it is not necessary to
121223 - do step 3 separately every time a transfer is made to the Internet,
121224 - which usually takes about 3 clicks.  Thus, 4 clicks are being
121225 - consolidated into one, saving 75% of the time.  Since transfers occur
121226 - fairly frequently during the day, this helps productivity.
121227 -
121228 -  ..
121229 - Line 1240, ref OF 2 SMMP, -entry 235, the other day, added a call
121230 - to....
121231 -
121232 -

121236 -  ..
121237 - ....before calling either 070405 to convert an SDS record to HTML,
121238 - and calling 0122 to convert an editor file to HTML.
121239 -
121240 -       ..
121241 -      Set 221 70, so 0608 will transfer to global 223 and execute op
121242 -      that maintains the directory, rather than just exit after the
121243 -      list is created.
121244 -
121245 -  ..
121246 - This should maintain the transfer directory, so it does not have to
121247 - be done separately, yet keep the ability to check the directory,
121248 - which is the current capability.
121249 -
121250 -      We might at a future time want to eliminate the click above the
121251 -      profile level number, so it can be used for something else.  For
121252 -      now will keep the current assignment in reserve.
121253 -
121254 - We are using the same code that is executed by the mouse.
121255 -
121256 -  ..
121257 - Line 1230, ref OF 2 9660, -label lchTml in 00001 calls 0608 #3 to
121258 - maintian transfer directory.  This will delete all transferred files,
121259 - and leave any that have not been transferred, and also remove the log
121260 - file that indicates a transfer has occurred.
121261 -
121262 -    The code for 0608 #3 was developed on
121263 -
121264 -  ..
121265 - Line 40, ref OF 1 9660, 0608 #3 this is where the operation in macro
121266 - file sd 03 0608 #3 begins to maintain a transfer directory.
121267 -
121268 -          It needs 221 which is the x position in order to figure out
121269 -          whether to exit after creating the list, or to delete
121270 -          transferred files.
121271 -
121272 -          221 is set in macro 235, per above. ref OF 2 SMMP
