0505 - Summary/Objective
0506 -
050601 - We are working on doing management training seminars and selling
050602 - the SDS program.  We want to complete a major improvement on the User
050603 - Interface.  This includes:
050604 -
050605 -    1.  Color commands for menues that permit distinguishing them,
050606 -        including reverse video for the cursor.
050607 -
050608 -    2.  Mouse Support, so we can execute menu commands from the menu,
050609 -        to address problems Morris reported on 911121, ref SDS 1 Z14J,
050610 -        and later on 920215. ref SDS 9 5820
050611 -
050612 -        Maybe we will just keep the menu on the screen all the time.
050613 -
050614 -           [On 920610 Morris developed mouse code. ref SDS 12 SU8M
050615 -
050616 -    3.  Insert key so it wraps.
050617 -
050618 -    4.  Template command so we can keep the menu on the screen and the
050619 -        ID data for SDS records.  This is also needed to keep the menu
050620 -        on the screen under item 2.
050621 -
050622 -    5.  Backspace key to delete last word.
050623 -
050624 -    6.  Getkey to improve menu system.

050631 - Morris will try to get to this.  He is going swimming this evening
050632 - with the kids.  He has a lot on his plate, plus he is trying to cut
050633 - back so he doesn't kill himself.
050634 -
050635 -     I suspect this is 2 or 3 full days work, then we can go away and
050636 -     try to make it work in the marketplace.

060606 -     On Jan 16, 1992 I discovered that JoAnn Finn's Digital keyboard
060607 -     responds to F11 and F12 in the Medit code.
060608 -
060609 - This is not as critical, especially if we get the mouse support and
060610 - the menus working.

090701 - Templates to freeze screen for doc log and other routines.
090702 -
090703 -      This is particularly important to keep the header line on the
090704 -      screen in SDS records, so Users can see the date of the record,
090705 -      and whether it is a schedule or diary record.
090706 -
090707 -      It can also be applied to keep the menu on the screen to tell
090708 -      Users about functions.

121101 - Morris understands how important this is.  He has been telling me how

150705 - Actually, we may need less record locking as a result of using
