1205 - Summary/Objective
1206 -
120601 - Follow up ref SDS 3 0000.
120602 -
120603 - Gary mentions new use case scenario in a letter this evening that F3
120604 - in the line number field to capture a para, and then using Shift F3 in
120605 - the line number field to replicate or transfer/enter the captured para
120606 - into another user's records, is not entering the citations correctly.
120607 - For some reason the user ID is not being entered for the linked record
120608 - in the Reference field, but evidently is using the user ID in the
120609 - current record. ref SDS 5 0001
120611 -  ..
120612 - Did an experiment by using F3 in the line number field of Gary's
120613 - record for today, 040723, on the following para, which was then
120614 - genereated using Shift F3 with cursor in the line number field...
120616 -         ..
120617 -        Encountered problem while copying definitions from Rod's record
120618 -        on 040402, ref SDS 2 JP8M, for SDS Definitions record on
120619 -        040720, ref SDS 4 Q65L.
120621 -  ..
120622 - Investigation seems to show that the user ID was correctly replicated
120623 - for the citations.  There is one for Gary's record and another for a
120624 - Welch record.  Clicking on the links they both execute correctly.
120626 -  ..
120627 - Sent a letter to Gary with a link to his record showing work on the
120628 - problem described in his record, and mentioned in his transmittal
120629 - letter.  Request clarification of the problem.
120631 -  ..
120632 - Mention that sometimes Medit gets "tired" and doesn't not do things
120633 - correctly.  Open another session and try another experiment with the
120634 - same or other para's in this record, and in fresh memory.
120635 -
120636 -    Gary called a few days later, and review shows the problem occurs
120637 -    when replicating paragraphs with "SDS 0" references, and may occur
120638 -    when transferring stuff to a Scheduled task.
120640 -     ..
120641 -    Analysis of the work on 040120 when this feature was developed,
120642 -    ref SDS 1 2M3G, found the problem is not related to the Schedule.
120644 -     ..
120645 -    The solution to the problem of internal citations using the wrong
120646 -    user ID is solved by adding "macro 911" in file...
120647 -
120648 -                        c: 01 04 0070030
120649 -
120650 -    ...at about line 320 below command loc_cur 5 1 and above the
120651 -    command macro 871. ref OF 1 XH4M  Macro 911 moves the user ID for
120652 -    the current record stored in global counters into local counters
120653 -    that are used by macro 871 to enter the record ID.  After making
120654 -    this change, compress the development file 0070030 by pressing F1
120655 -    Tab, and this will create an updated version in c: sd 03.
120657 -     ..
120658 -    Testing seems to show this works correctly in diary and in
120659 -    scheduled records.
120660 -
120661 -        Sent an email to Gary with link to this section of the record
120662 -        to explain solution, and that new files are on the web in dir
120663 -        \09 for him to update his SDS program files.
120665 -  ..
120666 - Gary also reports that Alt F7 for a block delete does not maintain
120667 - citations when used in the Reference field.
120669 -  ..
120670 - This is a design issue.  There is not enough compiler space for Medit
120671 - to make Shift F7 work like Alt F8 to delete a single line.
