110601 - Follow up ref SDS 1 0001.
110602 -
110603 - Completed the first lift on two complementary features that provide a
110604 - common user interface for multi-tasking based on the situation they
110605 - face, simply by pressing Enter or double clicking....

110607 -       Creating citations
110608 -       Accessing citations
110610 -  ..
110611 - Users can point to a citation in the body of an SDS record and open it
110612 - with Enter or double clicking the pointer.  They can create citations
110613 - at a particular position in an SDS record, by entering Mark 2 at the
110614 - target position, going to the Ref field and opening a referenced SDS
110615 - record, and double clicking or pressing Enter in the line number
110616 - field.
110617 -
110618 -       [On 990530 enchanced multi-tasking of Enter and double clicking
110619 -       for entering other locations based on the circumstances.

1109 - Evaluation
1110 -
111001 - This seems to work very well.  It adds considerable value to SDS by
111002 - greatly improving the speed an accuracy by which citations can be
111003 - created and accessed.  It can take from 15 seconds to several minutes
111004 - sometimes to open a citation to the correct line in the referenced
111005 - material, often requiring several switches between files.  Similarly,
111006 - it takes at least a minute or so to create citations manually.
111008 -  ..
111009 - Considerable agravation is avoided by not having to obtain, remember
111010 - and apply citation information several times.  Speed is enhanced by
111011 - avoiding errors of manual data entry.
111013 -  ..
111014 - This is a faster form of "hypertext," since it permits links to be
111015 - entered at will, without exotic coding.

1113 - Analysis
1114 -
111401 - This is a fairly simple tool to augment the Reference and citation
111402 - system.  It enhances the present capability which requires moving
111403 - from our current place of work to the Ref field and pressing enter,
111404 - then scrolling through the target record to find the cited line.
111405 - All of this is accomplished in macro 982 now.
111407 -  ..
111408 - Considered making it Alt F4, which was eliminated the other day as a
111409 - tool to check memory status.  However, it turned out to work better by
111410 - assigning directly to Enter, so the mouse pointer double click feature
111411 - would work.
111413 -  ..
111414 - The new macro will evaluate for alternate forms of "ref," and the
111415 - formal document log acronyms (e.g. DRT, drt). The cursor needs merely
111416 - to start to the left of a citation.
111417 -
111419 -  ..
111420 - Automated Citations
111421 -
111422 - This would be nice to have to achieve greater accuracy, by entering a
111423 - citation from another record in the correct format.
111424 -
111425 - We would have to mark the existing record where the citation is to be
111426 - entered, then open a cited record and place the cursor on the line in
111427 - the record to be cited, then execute the function.
111429 -  ..
111430 - Use code in file 000006 macro 101 to link records for code to return
111431 - to a source and purge the object record.
111433 -  ..
111434 - Made this Enter when cursor is in the line number field.

111802 - Macro 982
111803 -
111804 - Line 1140 - added new macro 982 code here to evaluate if there is a
111805 - Ref or ref string on or near the pointer/cursor.
111806 -
111807 - It looks for "ref," "Ref" or "REF" to the left of the cursor to find a
111808 - citation entry to open; then it looks for either SDS or Doc or Other
111809 - File cites and the citation number.  Appended line numbers are
111810 - included in the search specification.  The code can accomodate
111811 - citations that require more than one line to complete the entry.
111812 -
111814 -  ..
111815 - Macro 983
111816 -
111817 - Line 1585 - added new macro 983 to create a citation with current
111818 - record as object cited in target record from which the object record
111819 - was entered.
111821 -     ..
111822 -    Problem
111823 -
111824 -    This does not seem to have a way to know when it has not been
111825 -    called.  It should only be available if a record has been opened
111826 -    with the access function from an SDS ref record field.
111827 -
111828 -    We can use macro 98 which opens a record from an SDS ref field,
111829 -    except it is used for other operations also.
111831 -  ..
111832 - Line 755 - added conditional to create a flag (global 119 = 999), if
111833 - 47 = 2 (i.e. we open the object record from within an SDS record).
111835 -  ..
111836 - Line 870 - get the global 119 and reset golbal to 0.
111837 -
111838 -    Now when we execute the function, if 119 = 999, it indicates this
111839 -    record was opened from another SDS record, so the ecur 8, should
111840 -    work.
111842 -  ..
111843 - line 1287 - evaluate flag in this code under macro 983.
111844 -
111846 -  ..
111847 - Line 740 - it appears that macro 100 is no longer being used for
111848 - anything, so I unplugged it this evening.  It can be used for
111849 - something else.

112201 - Started to make this Alt F4 for SDS only, but it turns out to work
112202 - just as well with the Enter key.
112204 -  ..
112205 - Line 1005, ref OF 7 3592, -entry 136 added call to new macro 982 to
112206 - open citations.
112207 -
112208 -   This makes it part of mouse double click feature assigned under
112209 -   macro file 000001 - 230.  We could assign to double click and not
112210 -   assign to Enter by making a subsequent assignment of macro 982
112211 -   within the code where macro 1360 is called in macro 230, but I think
112212 -   this works just as well.  We would have to get back to the target
112213 -   position in the body text of the record where the "ref" entry is
112214 -   located, by making a savescr something, but that is not onerous.
112215 -
112217 -  ..
112218 - Line 1010 - added another call to macro 983 to create a citation using
112219 - current record in a target record based on current record having been
112220 - opened from a listing in another SDS record.
