2211 - Summary/Objective
2212 -
221201 - Follow up ref SDS 63 0000, ref SDS 62 0000.
221202 -
221203 - Assisted Gary in getting SDS files installed in the proper
221204 - directories.  He had most everything done correctly, as shown in the
221205 - record on 020924. ref SDS 63 U69G  There was a problem with the stuff
221206 - on the d drive, and we got that fixed.  He had to copy all of the
221207 - records for sd 08, which are the diary records.  Since this is the
221208 - longest part of the exercise, took about 30 minutes to get this done.
221209 -
221210 -  ..
221211 - We used that time to setup Medit for the editor, and did an
221212 - orientation of editing functions; how to open the menus with Shift F10
221213 - and the right mouse button; how to use the mouse for scrolling the
221214 - file up and down, and scrolling between files by clicking on CMD; and
221215 - openning Help with Ctrl F10.
221216 -
221217 -    Help opens sublevels with F1 or Enter and F2 to return to the
221218 -    prior level.
221219 -
221220 -     ..
221221 -    I had forgotten, but after the call found out through experimenting
221222 -    that the left mouse button can be used to open a sublevel in Help
221223 -    and the right button returns to the prior level in Help. Since Gary
221224 -    does not yet have a keyboard for SDS, the mouse may be easier than
221225 -    the function keys for most operations.
221226 -
221227 -  ..
221228 - Once SDS was online, we first looked at my records.
221229 -
221230 -     Gary can use my records as a template for examples and to
221231 -     experiment learning various functions.  Should avoid archiving my
221232 -     records.
221233 -
221234 -     Showed how to open my records without archiving by clicking
221235 -     between no and the quotation mark in the string no "archive"
221236 -
221237 -      ..
221238 -     Profile levels were demonstrated using F1 to scroll through
221239 -     alternate assignments for function keys.
221240 -
221241 -     Demonstrated using F1 F1 F2 to set line draw functions, which are
221242 -     used to create underlines that identify headlines in SDS records
221243 -     that Gary is familiar seeing in SDS records on the Internet.
221244 -
221245 -         [On 021001 Gary found an Omnikey keyboard with function keys
221246 -         on left end that works better for SDS. ref SDS 64 LZ4I
221247 -
221248 -
221249 -  ..
221250 - We opened a diary with F3 and did other basic tasks.
221251 -
221252 -  ..
221253 - We opened some of my SDS records and examined the Control Field.
221254 - Clicked on a Subject/File to open the organic structure.  Tried using
221255 - F1 F2 to open another level for a particular subject.  Gary said this
221256 - is not working.
221257 -
221258 -      [On 021002 Gary reports F2 key may not be working; research shows
221259 -      this may indicate W98 is beginning to fail. ref SDS 65 5Y8A
221260 -
221261 -  ..
221262 - Removing Read Only Attribute
221263 -
221264 - We started an exercise to set up an SDS user ID for Gary, but it
221265 - crashed because all of the files copied from the CD have a read only
221266 - attribute.
221267 -
221268 - Gary feels he can create a routine to remove the read-only attribute
221269 - so he can access SDS records and, then complete setting up an SDS user
221270 - ID account for himself.
221271 -
221272 -     There is some background on this problem first reported on 990816.
221273 -     ref SDS 13 0001
221274 -
221275 -      ..
221276 -     On 990817 there is a report that using xcopy instead of the
221277 -     Windows drag and drop feature will avoid adding a read only
221278 -     attribute to files copied from a CD to a hard drive. ref SDS 14
221279 -     0899
221280 -
221281 -          This record o 990817 has command application also listed for
221282 -          W2K. ref SDS 14 435K   Gary is using W98 which is probably
221283 -          the same.
221284 -
221285 -      ..
221286 -     On 990818 the record shows that DOS attribute command will remove
221287 -     the read only attribute for all of the files, but not for the
221288 -     directories. ref SDS 15 8977  Since we need the read only
221289 -     attribute removed from everything, it may be necessary for Gary to
221290 -     remove everything and transfer it again using the xcopy command,
221291 -     unless he comes up with another solution.
221292 -
221293 -  ..
221294 - Sent Gary a letter linked to this record to provide information on the
221295 - read only attribute problem.
221296 -
221297 -     [On 021002 Gary says this is solved. ref SDS 65 564J
