100603 -   Letterhead Control - 0405431
100604 -
100605 -   When I installed the new program code, I overwrote his 0450431
100606 -   file, so I have to make some minor adjustments to the margins for
100607 -   his correspondence, including "Subj.." and "Ref" fields, by moving
100608 -   them over 100 dots.

1106 -
110601 - Reviewed progress, per ref SDS 9 line 110601.
110602 -
110603 -     We did some data entry for training.  He understands that the
110604 -     descriptions (the "01" lines at the top) for CURRENT SDS records
110605 -     can only be changed in the Schedule.
110606 -
110607 -         Descriptions for archived diary records can be changed in the
110608 -         record, but to update the file, you have to do F1 F6, so the
110609 -         data base pointers are saved.
110610 -
110611 -     His record indicate he is using data entry correctly, but he does
110612 -     not have very much entered yed.

110623 -
110624 - Mouse & Menus
110625 -
110626 -
110627 -     Worked on this quite a bit, because it is a more intuitive means
110628 -     to execute functions and he is comfortable using the mouse from
110629 -     his work with Windows.
110630 -
110631 -     Scroll a File with Mouse
110632 -
110633 -     Showed how clicking on this does the Ctrl F6 function, and how he
110634 -     can jump to the top and bottom of an SDS screen immediately by
110635 -     clicking at screen positions 79 1 and 25.  Showed how he can

1607 - Summary/Objective
1608 -
160801 - Reviewed this per ref SDS 9 line 160801,
160802 -
160803 -    Noticed his record for our meeting today was created from scratch,
160804 -    rather using F1 Shift F1, so it did not have any of the stuff from
160805 -    the last meeting.
160806 -
160807 -    I explained the benefits of using F1 Shift F1 (just F1 in the Diary
160808 -    summary screen).
160809 -
160810 -    Denis asked why linking and citations are so helpful when we have
160811 -    the Subject tagging feature and can call reports.  I explained this
160812 -    as the difference between having instant recall about something
160813 -    during a converstion, and having to go look up everything in a
160814 -    filing cabinet.  Calling an SDS report is fast, but not as fast as
160815 -    a citation, and reports assemble a vast amount of information,
160816 -    whereas citations point to one single item that is completely
160817 -    relevant to an instant issue of consideration.

170607 - Keyboard Response
170608 -
170609 - We fixed the problem we have been having with the keystrokes beeping
170610 - out when we hold a key pressed.  It was in Windows Control Panel,
170611 - Keyboard, just shifted the repeat rate down slightly.

170617 -
170618 - Try to investigate this to make sure it is getting done.
170619 -
170620 -     Denis said they do an interim backup once a week.  I would still
170621 -     like to see how the restore stuff, when a problem arises.  The
170622 -     backup and restore when the hardware was converted did not go
170623 -     well.
170624 -

220903 -    Edit and/or create another Orgz and Indiv record.
220904 -
220905 -       Did not do this, because Denis showed a new Contact record he
220906 -       created and it seemed correct.
220907 -
220908 -       Showed how he can help on the record format.  He indicated the
220909 -       Contact format is self explanatory.
220910 -
220911 -
220912 -    Show highlighting available in Contact records.

220918 -
220919 -    Showed how this new feature is now available to him.  Demonstrated
220920 -    how he can assemble a complete alphabetical list, then delete
220921 -    anyone from it he doesn't need, and print it with new feature.
220922 -
220923 -        We printed one as a sample.
220924 -
220925 -        Need to remind him that separate lists have to be printed for
220926 -        organizations and individuals.
220927 -
220928 -
220929 -
220930 - Using Contact Records
220931 -
220932 - Reminded Denis of how important this is to enable him to lookup
220933 - records of contacts with organizations and individuals.  I entered the
220934 - Welch record into his SDS record for the meeting today.
220935 -
220936 -     We went through the sequence of steps, using the Contact menu, to
220937 -     open a Summary and press Enter to load a Contact into an SDS
220938 -     record.
220939 -
220940 -         Showed how he can mark seveal lines with "x" to load more than
220941 -         one Contact into an SDS record.
220942 -
220943 -         Showed how he can mark a line with "x", use F6 to repeat it,
220944 -         and change the name of the person in the organization to be
220945 -         listed, so multiple people can be called to be entered into an
220946 -         SDS record from the Summary.
220947 -
220948 -
220949 -
220950 -     Showed how to use F1 F9 in an SDS record to do report on
220951 -     Contacts, and how to use the Menu for this as well.
220952 -
220953 -     Showed how to use Alt F9 in the Contact Summary screen, and how to
220954 -     use the new Contact menu choice for "Reports."
220955 -
220956 -         Did not show how to open a Contact record and load it to an
220957 -         SDS record, nor load a report screen for a report.

250701 - Reviewed work at ref SDS 13 line 040901.  Demonstrated various options
250702 - available, using default project SI as baseline.
250703 -
250704 -     Denis approved the new SI format I created and requested the
250705 -     feature to assign new SI for projects using another project as a
250706 -     templeate, per ref SDS 13 line 041401.
250707 -
250708 -     Explained the difference between the Current and Master project
250709 -     lists, and how the Master, correlates to his "Master Project
250710 -     Roster.
250711 -
250712 -
250713 - Denis will mark up the "Master Project Roster" so I can edit the
250714 - Current list to show only those Denis is working regularly.  This will
250715 - speed up his use of the program, per ref SDS 12 line 042141.
250716 -
250717 -       Actually, Denis can do this edit himself on-line, because all
250718 -       he has to do is delete the lines he doesn't need.
250719 -
250720 -
250721 - Segemented SDS Records
250722 -
250723 - Did a review similar to "Contacts" above, for entering Subjects into
250724 - the Control Field in order to get information back in reports.  Showed
250725 - how to segment the record using block repeat, Shift F6, or block copy,
250726 - F3 and F5.
250727 -
250728 -      We did some of these for training, and I showed Denis how my
250729 -      record at ref SDS 9 line 040601, for our meeting last Thursday,
250730 -      looks with each main top "segmented" by a control field with its
250731 -      sub-subjects.
250732 -
250733 -      Denis seems to appreciate that a typical meeting can have 10 to
250734 -      20 subjects which can be identified separately.  I showed using
250735 -      my records on CPU #7, how SDS can assemble just the portion from
250736 -      a series of record on a current topic of interest.
250737 -
250738 -
250739 - Showed Denis how he can assign subjects to an SDS record from a
250740 - Subject Index, and how he can use Enter or the Mouse to step into the
250741 - SI at the level shown on the Control Field.
250742 -
250743 - Showed how to use F1 F9 to load a Report screen from an SDS record
250744 - and within an SI screen.
250745 -
250746 - Explained in some detail how to use the Mouse in an SI screen to
250747 - either load an SI to an SDS record, to a Report screen, or go forward
250748 - or back in the SI hierarchy, as explained in Help for "Subject Index"
250749 - under "Functions" -- the heading "Main Functions" explains both
250750 - function keys and mouse.
250751 -
250752 -
250753 - I need to load my SI onto Denis' computer so I can continue to

320606 -     is open to it.  He seems very focused on getting adequate support

320608 -     for a few hours am available for phone support as needed.
320609 -
320610 -     He indicated he is submitting a proposal for some work at the

320614 -
320615 -         Denis requested a CV for Welch Co. on this matter.

320618 -         Did not discuss Welch support for Change Order Log, using
