121102 -
121103 - Created a new function for F3 in the SI to capture a set of account
121104 - descriptions to replicate in another location.  Shift F3 is the target
121105 - command.  This complements F5 that replicates the account on the top
121106 - line and the format offset of the account above to all of the lines in
121107 - an account.  These two changes reliminate from 10 to 50 keystrokes,
121108 - and in some cases hundreds of keystrokes, which is a very significant
121109 - savings of time and money.  Since most people are doing any subject
121110 - management, the time saved does not register.  However, reducing the
121111 - time and effort to learn and use contact management may lead more
121112 - people to perform this task, leading to discovery that adding
121113 - intelligence saves time, money and lives by reducing mistakes,
121114 - especially of oversight.

121505 - Work today continues efforts listed in the record on 000824 to
121506 - consolidate and integrate tasks that reduce the number of keystrokes
121507 - using SDS. ref SDS 1 0001
121509 -  ..
121510 - Developing multiple descriptions for subjects has always been a big
121511 - part of SDS daily work.  Beginning about 10 years ago or so, the idea
121512 - of cross-referencing using common descriptions in different structures
121513 - began to be applied, but in the past six (6) months or so this
121514 - practice has significantly expanded as experience revealed added
121515 - utility.  The time and physical effort to accomplish this task was
121516 - greatly increased using existing tools, especially with the
121517 - introduction of a standard organic structure for organiztions, people
121518 - and projects.  This has led to delays in getting things done, as the
121519 - struggle to test out the concept stretched out performance of tasks.
121521 -  ..
121522 - Gary Johnson has related difficulty learning to use cut and paste,
121523 - which is awkward using a conventional keyboard, with the result that
121524 - he has not had time to apply the SI according to the design.
121526 -  ..
121527 - Cut and paste operations increase demand on memory, which leads to
121528 - more frequent program crashes, as the amount of use increases to
121529 - accomplish the new level of cross-referencing that seems desirable.
121531 -  ..
121532 - These factors create incentive to develop a simpler method of context
121533 - management that integrates all of the tasks involved into a few
121534 - keystrokes that take seconds rather than minutes for using the subject
121535 - index.  Integrating and consolidating commands was reported on 021108
121536 - as a goal of Microsoft. ref SDS 2 EFBE On 030731 consolidated more
121537 - functions in F2 save, so the work today continues this effort.
121538 - ref SDS 4 0G6H
121540 -  ..
121541 - New function for F3 replaces cut and past to cross-reference subjects,
121542 - as explained on 030717, ref SDS 3 Q88V  F3 places multiple account
121543 - descriptions in a temporary file stufq9.  Shift F3 enters and formats
121544 - all of the description lines stored by F3 in stufq9 as a new set of
121545 - descriptions for any subject account beginning on the cursor line.
121546 - This elimiates from 10 to 20 keystrokes, and complements F5 created on
121547 - 030717. ref SDS 3 Q88V  Eliminating cut and paste improves memory
121548 - management by reducing fragmentation and by reducing the requirement
121549 - of holding large blocks of data twice in memory.

121556 -        New assignment to capture a series of descriptions in the
121557 -        subject index to replicate at another account.  Replace cut and
121558 -        paste by doing everything with a single keystroke.  Formerly F3
121559 -        was not active in SI, because it is assigned to open a Diary
121560 -        Summary in the Schedule SDS records and even in an editor file
121561 -        when SDS is active.

121566 -        Shift F3 enters descriptions in stufq9 to cross-reference
121567 -        subjects in different parts of the SI.  Formerly, Shift F3
121568 -        was assigned for return to mark 3 which is entered when Alt F3
121569 -        is entered to empty the cut file.

121576 -
121577 - Account descriptions are captured for replication in another account,
121578 - and so this normally means using cut and paste, closing the current
121579 - account and opening the account where the structure from the other
121580 - account is to be entered, using cut and past again after replicating
121581 - enough lines.  Empty the cut file and conform the format with F5
121582 - created on 030717. ref SDS 3 Q88V  This suggests we can simply delete
121583 - everything in the file except what is needed for replication.
