040903 -    1.  Subject: Purge Command Problem

040912 -    2.  Good work yesterday fixing locate [...reported on 101012 0757.
040913 -        ref SDS 1 YE8H...], and getting e to restore a file to the edit
040914 -        chain after a load command. [...reported on 101012 0757.
040915 -        ref SDS 1 M58L...]  The new "File List" feature is very
040916 -        helpful. [...also reported on 101012 0757. ref SDS 1 294I...]
040918 -         ..
040919 -    3.  Initial functionality prevents working on the source file after
040920 -        opening the File List.  Can File List be a diagnostic showing
040921 -        files added and removed during processing, similar to Windows
040922 -        Task Manager that tracks applications, and memory use?
040924 -         ..
040925 -    4.  As discussed, would like to move counters from debug to a
040926 -        separate window, and called from the menu bar , like the new
040927 -        the File List function. [...noted in the record on 101012 0757.

040931 -    5.  The File List menu function indicates today a new problem with
040932 -        purge command.  SDS is launched by calling 04702, and once
040933 -        control is passed to the user, 04702 has an ending command...
040934 -
040935 -                 purge c:\sd33\04702
040936 -
040937 -            [On 101103 0920 turned out that purge command is case
040938 -            senstive, and so conforming the case of the file string in
040939 -            04702 enables purge in 04702 to purge itself. ref SDS 2

040943 -    6.  This has been working correctly up until yesterday, so
040944 -        something may have been done to purge.  Not only does 04702
040945 -        show up on the file list, it is in the edit chain. [...shown in
040946 -        the record on 101012 0757. ref SDS 1 YB62
040948 -         ..
040949 -    7.  Did a test using just the editor.  Opened another file, then
040950 -        did a purge from the initial file, and the object file was
040951 -        still in memory.  Seems like something got changed for purge in
040952 -        what was done yesterday.

040959 -    8.  Java may enable us to eventually enhance Knowledge Management
040960 -        by displaying complete structures for subject accounts.
040961 -        Communication has a natural DNA-like organic structure that
040962 -        gets very complicated.  Would like to move the mouse onto an
040963 -        account code and right click to display the underlying
040964 -        description from the Subject Index, similar to email programs
040965 -        that display the full subject description for a letter in the
040966 -        summary email list.  This could make assigning subjects in
040967 -        Control Fields much more efficient.  Right now, we can double
040968 -        click or press Enter with the cursor on a subject account, and
040969 -        this opens the SI to the account description.  But it only
040970 -        displays the last element of a structure.  The mouse over
040971 -        function might be able to display the entire structure for
040972 -        context management.  This is probably on the list of "...if we
040973 -        live long enough, we'll get to it."
