040604 - We thought we could test this matter with Terry's keyboard, but it
040605 - only has 10 function keys on the left end also.  He is going out with
040606 - the family later today; so I suggested they swing by his office to
040607 - pick up his office keyboard.  He feels this could cause havoc at home;
040608 - and so he will try to go by the office sometime this weekend on his
040609 - own.

Wordwrap on SDS margins automatically,

050501 -  ..
050502 - We eliminated the requirement for wordwrap to call macro 610 only
050503 - when wrapflag 1 is active.  Then we added the code that calls macro
050504 - 611.
050506 -     ..
050507 -    I tested this and found that this works fine.
050509 -     ..
050510 -    Is Macro 611 Necessary
050511 -
050512 -    Now I am wondering whether macro 611 is really necessary.  This
050513 -    matter came to me in writing up the explanation in the Wrapon
050514 -    description in the Medit Command file, ref OF 2 0000.
050515 -
050516 -    Macro 611, only removes the duplicated outline indicator on the
050517 -    second line.  But this only occurs because of wrapflag 1.  If
050518 -    Wrapflag 1 is off, then macro 611 is not needed.  Actually we do
050519 -    need it, because wrapflag is active in SDS in order to duplicate
050520 -    the line numbers.  So we need macro 611 in SDS and do not need it
050521 -    in the editor.  Since it does not slow us down to use in the Editor
050522 -    it does not hurt to have it active all the time.

050902 - 1 is pending.  This is just lines 32 and 33.
050903 -
050904 -    I wonder though where the code is the routine that seems to be
050905 -    called by line 33.  Seems like this must be a subroutine, and if
050906 -    we comment out the call, do we still need the subroutine?
050907 -
050909 -  ..
050910 - Line 34 - 51 - this is the routine that calls macro 610, so we copied
050911 - this to line 152 where the wrap code ends, and changed the macro call
050912 - from 610 to 611.

051303 - Now that we have 611 called by wordwrap, this is not necessary.

151302 - Downsizing Executives Too Busy to Learn SDS for Saving Time, Money
151303 -
151304 - Morris is doing budget evaluation meetings for downsizing Chips,
151305 - similar to efforts at Ford, Chrysler and other US companies, which he
151306 - mentioned previously on 911221, when it was discovered that people had

151319 - The budgeting process is "top down" rather than "needs" based.  Top
151320 - down budgeting funds departments and projects according to obligations
151321 - and opportunities.
151323 -  ..
151324 - Where is the record of analysis to defer obligations in order to
151325 - allocate limited resources for opportunities that can grow income
151326 - rapidly enough to meet compounding obligations?
151327 -

151329 -     opportunities by interviewing project managers and engineers.

151332 -     There isn't enough time to review company records, and most of
151333 -     them are incomplete for the reasons on 890809, ref SDS 3 SI4K, a
151334 -     lot of the record has been destroyed, as discussed on 911123,
151335 -     ref SDS 11 8934  Therefore, organizational memory can only be
151336 -     assembled by conducting a series of meetings to interview people
151337 -     and gather what they remember.

151357 -         reported Com Metrics was more effective than relying on

151359 -         details from a few weeks earlier. ref SDS 38 2487
151361 -      ..
151362 -     We recalled on 890809 there was concern that organizational memory
151363 -     was better suited for external management. ref SDS 3 0880 This
151364 -     recent experience related today indicates that organizational
151365 -     memory is, also, helpful for internal management.
151367 -      ..
151368 -     I asked if SDS could help with this task, since Morris noted on
151369 -     890809 meetings need people to listen better, and on 991123 he
151370 -     noted that SDS is more effective than other methods? ref SDS 11

151385 -     to get the record of performance to manage downsizing at Chips?

151391 -     learned, and progress to assess prospects for improving earnings,

151401 -     His secretary, Marily, is keeping his schedule, but not for his
