0407 - Function keys
0408 -
040801 - Some of Kath's co-workers feel the number of functions is too
040802 - overwhelming.  Kathleen feels after working with it for awhile that
040803 - the number of functions used routinely, is not very large.
040804 -
040805 - Actually she is catching on well about how to add, delete lines. The
040806 - difference between adding lines and repeating lines.  Moving up and
040807 - down, left and right in the file.
040808 -
040809 - Advanced functions
040810 - Copy/Move in SDS
040811 -
04081101 - She tried some copy and move commands and apparently got messed up
04081102 - in her SDS file, so we started over.  But these functions are
04081103 - rarely used anyway in SDS.
04081104 -
04081105 - We should probably warn Users in the manual to use these functions
04081106 - carefully, because they can mess up the structure of their data.

050401 - She has not heard any further from Bob since giving him a copy of
050402 - the manual.
050403 -
050404 - Kath went into Bob's office yesterday and asked him about how he is
050405 - doing on looking at the manual.  He make a sort of joke to indicate
050406 - he intends to look at the manual, but has not done so yet.  Kath
050407 - wants to give more time.

0605 - Editor
0606 -
060601 - Kath has a general idea of how to use the Editor.  She has not fully
060602 - realized SDS is simply a subset of the Editor; I reminded her that
060603 - the profile level 1 functions in the Editor are essentially the same
060604 - for SDS.
060605 -
060606 - She has developed fairly good understanding of Level 1 functions.
060607 -
060608 - Profile Index
060609 -
060610 - Kath said she could not find anything in the manual about what to do
060611 - after finding the desired function in the Profile Index.  We looked
060612 - this up on page 1-6, which is cited in the Table of Contents for the
060613 - Profile Index, and it says to use the "quit" command.
060614 -
060615 - Maybe "quit" should be highlighted.
060616 -

0609 - SDS
0610 -
061001 - She had corrupted her initial SDS file trying to use the Move and
061002 - Copy commands to create new records.  As a result, when she opened it
061003 - this evening, no records were archived.  Therefore, we abandoned it
061004 - and started over.
061005 -
061006 - We went through the SDS start up system step by step.  I made a
061007 - startup file with her so we could always be looking at the same
061008 - screen.  One slight difficulty is that I have revised the start up
061009 - routine some, since sending it to her.
061010 -
061011 - One of the hardest things to accomplish in this procedure is con-
061012 - trolling the Trainee's tendency to move ahead too rapidly.  They
061013 - scroll the file too far so we are not viewing the same things and so
061014 - training cannot proceed in an orderly manner.  One answer might be to
061015 - regularly have the Trainee enter a Mark so we can mutually return to
061016 - a common condition.
061017 -
061018 - We went through a variety of steps including loading a CNS record,
061019 - opening files from the Ref section and making new records.  We also
061020 - converted records from Schedule to Diary.
061021 -
061022 - Kath seems to grasp the line numbers pretty well.  We spent quite a
061023 - bit of time on this.
