1108 - Progress
1109 -
110901 - Yesterday on 100210 made good progress.  Morris asked for review after
110902 - the work session to identify more issues, reported on 100210 1019,
110903 - ref SDS 62 OC77
110905 -  ..
110906 - Sent following letter to Morris...
110907 -
110908 -    1.  Subject: Medit Command Issues
110909 -        Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 09:44:21 -0800
110917 -         ..
110918 -    2.  Good progress on Wednesday.  Seem to have wordwrap working now
110919 -        with macro 610 and 611 running correctly.
110921 -         ..
110922 -    3.  There is a problem with the "down" command, corollary to "up".
110924 -         ..
110925 -    4.  Recall you added an errormsg that increments errorcnt when "up"
110926 -        reaches the end of file.  You also added a message when "down"
110927 -        reaches top of file.  Please remove the error message on the
110928 -        down command, per explanation from the work yesterday.
110929 -        ref SDS 62 789J
110930 -
110931 -            [On 100224 0814 Morris fixed this so that down does not
110932 -            return an error message. ref SDS 63 789J
110934 -         ..
110935 -    5.  For some reason profile assignment "pa8 immed d," is failing.
110936 -        ref SDS 62 Q27N
110937 -
110938 -            [On 100224 0814 Morris explained function keys cannot
110939 -            accept mixed case commaand assignments.  Using all upper or
110940 -            all lower case strings solves the problem. ref SDS 63 Q27N
110942 -         ..
110943 -    6.  To get the mouse to work in the new Medit, we need a scroll bar
110944 -        that eliminates current mouse features in the macro code that
110945 -        scrolls the file up and down. ref SDS 62 BY3H
110947 -         ..
110948 -    7.  We need a solution for clicking on the Command line above the
110949 -        annotate field, which now floats right as the screen is
110950 -        widened. ref SDS 62 J23L
110952 -         ..
110953 -    8.  This could be a good time to "bite the bullet" and implement
110954 -        the field above the Medit screen to accomplish the purpose of
110955 -        clicking various positions above the Annotate field.
110957 -         ..
110958 -    9.  Currently, three (3) functions are called...
110960 -             ..
110961 -        1.  Clicking at the left on the Command line above "Quit=ESC"
110962 -            converts the current file to HTML, and saves them in a
110963 -            directory structure pending transfer to the Internet.
110965 -             ..
110966 -        2.  Clicking on Command line between ...ESC      Editor...
110967 -            uploads files that have been converted to HTML to the
110968 -            Internet, and empties the list.
110970 -             ..
110971 -        3.  Clicking on Command line above "Editor  1" produces a list
110972 -            of files that are pending transfer to the Internet.
110974 -         ..
110975 -   10.  These three functions can be identified in a menu of some sort
110976 -        across the top of the screen.
110978 -         ..
110979 -   11.  We don't have to do all this immediately, but you might start
110980 -        thinking about how to implement these new capabilities.
110982 -         ..
110983 -   12.  Please call anytime, for clarifications as needed.
110985 -         ..
110986 -   13.  I'll call you Friday morning to see about another session.
110988 -         ..
110989 -   14.  I can come down on Friday, but it sounded like you only have a
110990 -        few hours for Medit, so it may be more efficient to use the
110991 -        conference call meeting method with Eluminate. ref SDS 62 OC77
110992 -
110999 -
111001 -  ..
111002 - Sent another letter with additional issues...
111003 -
111004 -    1.  Subject: Function Key Assignments and Debug Support
111005 -        Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 10:43:32 -0800
111013 -         ..
111014 -    2.  Just a couple more issues.
111016 -         ..
111017 -    3.  For sometime I have noticed that F1, which scrolls through
111018 -        profile function key assignments has not been working correctly
111019 -        for level 2.  Investigation today indicates that the program
111020 -        crashes on the assignment "pf2         " (blank), which in the
111021 -        original Medit unassigns a key to prevent someone from
111022 -        inadvertently making a mistake, as related in the record on
111023 -        100210. ref SDS 62 WQ7L
111024 -
111025 -            [On 100224 0814 Morris fixed this so that function keys can
111026 -            be assigned to a blank, which gives them no assignment;
111027 -            this solved problem of failure scrolling the profile.
111028 -            ref SDS 63 WQ7L
111030 -         ..
111031 -    4.  Debug window has been discussed quite a bit, and you have made
111032 -        some helpful refinements.  Here are additional ideas we have
111033 -        been discussing, which can make the work faster and easier.
111034 -        ref SDS 62 SC4H
111036 -         ..
111037 -    5.  We can review further on Friday.
111039 -         ..
111040 -    6.  Thanks.
