150652 -        official log book recording names and conduct of their crew,
150653 -        any births, illnesses and deaths on board, misconduct,
150654 -        punishments and desertions. The log books of foreign-going
150655 -        ships were handed in within forty-eight hours of arrival, of
150656 -        home trading ships, half-yearly. None was required from boats
150657 -        carrying out coastal trade around Britain. Except for the
150658 -        period 1902-19, where they form a separate class, BT 165,
150659 -        extant official log books are filed with the Crew Lists and
150660 -        Agreements in BT 98 and BT 99.

190403 -
190404 - Gary submitted another letter explaining ideas for improving SDS by
190405 - adding a system of handling abreviations, which he has used
190406 - effectively in other tools.
190407 -
190408 -    1.  Subject: Expanding Abbreviations
190409 -        Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 08:58:54 -0800
190410 -        From: "EXT-Johnson, Garold L"
190411 -        To: "Rod Welch (E-mail)"
190413 -         ..
190414 -    2.  Rod,
190416 -         ..
190417 -    3.  I started a record about expanding abbreviations, and stumbled
190418 -        across some more information on log books. The text follows.
190420 -         ..
190421 -    4.  Thanks,

190431 -    7.  Expanding Abbreviations
190432 -
190433 -        Several programs support some variation of abbreviation expansion.
190435 -         ..
190436 -    8.  KeyNote has a glossary that supports expansion of
190437 -        abbreviations. It uses F7 to expand the preceding abbreviation,
190438 -        highlights the abbreviation if it wasn't found, and Shift F7
190439 -        allows adding the abbreviation and its expansion to the
190440 -        glossary. This is quite convenient for limited abbreviations.
190442 -         ..
190443 -    9.  MultiEdit has a full template system that can be used to expand
190444 -        abbreviations. I generally set it to expand on spaces, which
190445 -        can be a problem, but it can be controlled on a per-template
190446 -        basis. Since MultiEdit is a programming editor, the templates
190447 -        are for specific languages based on file extensions.
190449 -         ..
190450 -   10.  Several programs interface with the IntelliComplete program
190451 -        which supports simple and complex expansions for all Windows
190452 -        programs and a set of rules for constructing shorthands from
190453 -        words and phrases to allow importing of plain text to create
190454 -        shorthand libraries.

190458 -         ..
190459 -   11.  This program has some annoying qualities in that it is always
190460 -        present, and the constant abbreviations get in the way. It also
190461 -        auto-learns, which with my tendency to misspell is not a
190462 -        feature. I am using an older version of the program, so the
190463 -        latest one may (or even this one) may have other settings.
190465 -         ..
190466 -   12.  There is a system called Easy Notes(?) that uses abbreviations
190467 -        and formation rules to support rapid note taking.
190469 -         ..
190470 -   13.  I have found that using initials to capture the speaker and
190471 -        using expansion to get the frequently referenced names works
190472 -        well for taking meeting notes.
190474 -         ..
190475 -   14.  Enhancing SDS with Abbreviations
190476 -
190477 -        Using a system similar to KeyNote with separate keys to expand and add
190478 -        abbreviations is the best plan for adding abbreviations to SDS. The
190479 -        abbreviation libraries need to have 2 segments: one global, and the other
190480 -        one by user.
190482 -         ..
190483 -   15.  If we implement some mechanism for specifying the current
190484 -        context (in the David Allen sense), the list should support
190485 -        different abbreviation sets for each context.
