0606 - Summary/Objective
0607 -
060701 - Jeff has not sent the response to Byte, but will try to do something
060702 - today.  He needed assistance with using Cut & Paste, part of it due to
060703 - way the menu system uses the cut file, which I have fixed.
060704 -
060705 - He is still having problem getting started with the SI.

0609 - Discussion
0610 -
061001 - He still has not had time to prepare the letter to Byte.  I suggested
061002 - he spend 20 minutes to prepare a simple letter of one paragraph so he
061003 - does not feel his professionally integrity is challenged by not
061004 - reading the source material.  Jeff said he will do this today, and
061005 - will send me a copy.

0705 - Progress
0706 -
070601 - He is having trouble with this.  We went through a simple exercise
070602 - successfully.  One problem is that he has not worked with it enough to
070603 - recognize when he has forgotten to enter an UL or a LR or one of the
070604 - functions that puts stuff in the Cut file.  Mentioned that when he
070605 - gets a message that says a C&P command is "invalid" it means he forgot
070606 - to enter either UL or LR before doing Copy, Clear or Cut.

070608 - Omni Keyboard
070609 -
070610 - Mentioned the value of having a keyboard with function keys along the
070611 - left side of the keyboard.  C&P function key assignments are made to
070612 - facilitate application in this configuration.
070613 -
070614 - Insert v. Paste
070615 -
070616 - Did an exercise to show the difference between "pasting" something
070617 - from the cut file with Ctrl F5, and "inserting" the same stuff with
070618 - Shift F6.

0710 -
071001 - Advised that when the menu is used in C&P it purges the cut file. This
071002 - is likely a major source of his prior difficulties. I knew about it,
071003 - but since I do not have to use the Menu in C&P, I have not encountered
071004 - the problem.  Also the fix takes up more memory and I have tried to
071005 - avoid this.
