084108 - ..
084109 - Minesh went on to explain he wanted to open the c: drive, and then to
084110 - open the Windows directory using My Computer.
084112 - ..
084113 - Minesh proposed running iexplorer.exe directly from the Windows
084114 - program directory, which actually positions the program as follows...
084115 -
084116 - i:\program files\internet explorer\iexplorer.exe
084118 - ..
084119 - We did this, and the browser appeared on the screen.
084121 - ..
084122 - Minesh suggested using cut and past to capture a link address, and
084123 - then enter the address into the IE 7 location (address) bar.
084125 - ..
084126 - Did this and the program opened the file to the designated anchor.
084128 - ..
084129 - Minesh feels this shows that IE 7 runs correctly.
084131 - ..
084132 - We reviewed the difference between the process Minesh just described,
084133 - which maybe 10 people in the world will perform consistently in order
084134 - to verify accuracy, and expand span of attention for understanding
084135 - context based on situational awareness, and using technology for
084136 - intelligence support that requires instant precision access with a
084137 - single click to save lives, time, and money.
084139 - ..
084140 - Minesh said he does not understand why "precision access" has to done
084141 - with a single click, instead of using cut and paste as he just
084142 - demonstrated.
084144 - ..
084145 - Explained that at the time the function executes, the filename and
084146 - anchor are in html format, that can be captured in the manner he
084147 - proposes. The address is contstructed from SDS record source files,
084148 - like this one, and then passed to a command argument, all transparent
084149 - to the user.
084151 - ..
084152 - Misesh said he will submit a letter explaining work on this matter
084153 - today, and that he will arrange for a Microsoft engineer to call
084154 - tomorrow about correcting the problem with IE 7.
