070504 -     daily work.
070505 -
070506 -     While I was there he took several phone calls and I showed him
070507 -     how to enter them while the discussion is underway, so there is
070508 -     no duplication of effort.
070509 -
070510 -         Explained that once he begins entering them, he has the

090604 -
090605 -   When I installed the new program code, I overwrote his 0450431
090606 -   file, so I have to make some minor adjustments to the margins for
090607 -   his correspondence, including "Subj.." and "Ref" fields, by moving
090608 -   them over 100 dots.

090612 -
090613 -   Denis reported my letterhead appeared on a memo he printed.
090614 -
090615 -      I explained this occurred because I printed a letter when I was
090616 -      there the other day and used my letterhead to test it, ref SDS 1
090617 -      line 100602.  This entered my letterhead into the letterhead
090618 -      format utility.  To replace it, we specified a letter to be
090619 -      printed from Denis.  Then we configured his record for my visit
090620 -      today, into a new report.  We couldn't print it, Denis could see
090621 -      his letterhead is now in the memo.

110702 -
110703 -     Denis did some general data entry of SDS records while I was
110704 -     there, so he can get familiar with using the combination of

110708 - Function Keys
110709 -
110710 - He is doing better at using both hands to apply some key combinations
110711 - and the left hand for most.  He likes Alt F10 to highlight lines in
110712 - SDS records.  Showed him the AAA Contact record as an example where
110713 - highlighting is effective in Contact records.

110729 -
110730 -     Worked on this some more as an alternative to using Ctrl F6.  He

110732 -     F6 to leave a file in memory, and using ESC to close it.`

1909 - Summary/Objective
1910 -
191001 - Review this per ref SDS 1 line 160803.  He had a problem creating
191002 - links.  I explained how linking, citations, reports and diaries all
191003 - work together to quickly and thoroughly accomplish follow ups.
191004 -
191005 - Denis expressed a general concern about how to find appropriate SDS
191006 - records for making follow up tasks, links and citations.  He had a
191007 - problem using the automatic 15 day Diary Summary, and wanted to know
191008 - how to get Diaries for more than 15 days.
191009 -
191010 -   I had Denis write out in his record the problem he is having with
191011 -   linking, so we both could see his level of understanding about how
191012 -   SDS works, relative to his objective.  Turned out he was opening and
191013 -   marking the target record which is correct, then using ESC to get
191014 -   back to the Schedule to do F3, to get the Diary Summary.
191015 -
191016 -       Scrolling with Ctrl F6
191017 -
191018 -       I explained that ESC closes a record, and thereby looses its
191019 -       mark as a target for a link.  We did several exercises where he
191020 -       created links after marking with F1 Alt F5, then using Ctrl F6
191021 -       or clicking the mouse on CMD, to scroll to the source record.
191022 -
191023 -
191024 -
191025 -   F1 F2 in SD Recs, Same as F3 in Schedule
191026 -
191027 -   We looked up "Making New Tasks and Linking" in Help under "Proced-
191028 -   ures" which explains F1 F2 in a Schedule Diary record, to call a
191029 -   Diary Summary which is the equivalent of F3 in the Schedule. I
191030 -   explained that using F1 F2 in this way automatically marks the
191031 -   current record as the target for a link.
191032 -
191033 -       Menus Access to Diaries
191034 -
191035 -       We discussed how he can use menus as a common method to call
191036 -       Diaries, until he learns the function keys.  He tried this a
191037 -       few times and seemed to have the feel for it.
191038 -
191039 -   We looked up the link I entered in his record for today to his
191040 -   record of our meeting on Tuesday, which explains how to accomplish
191041 -   links, ref SDS 2 line 061392.

191044 -
191045 -
191046 - Diary Specifications - F1 F3
191047 -
191048 - Showed how he can use File Access screen to enter a specification to
191049 - get Diary Summaries for more than 15 days.
191050 -
191051 - We looked up in Help under "Procedures, Opening Diary Records, Other
191052 - Ways to Open Diary Records" (about 4 pages from top), for instructions
191053 - on how to get diaries by entering a specification.
191054 -
191055 -    Went through a few exercises where he specified dates and ranges
191056 -    and key words.  I explained key words pertain only to what he
191057 -    enters in the Diary Description field, and not in the record
191058 -    itself.
191059 -
191060 -
191061 -    Menu File Access = F1 F3
191062 -
191063 -    Showed how he can use the menu as well as F1 F3, to open the File
191064 -    Access screen.
191065 -
191066 -
191067 -
191068 - Reports - F1 F9
191069 -
191070 - I explained that I mostly use reports on Subjects and Contacts to get
191071 - diary lists to select records as templates for follow ups, rather
191072 - than the automatic Diary Summary.
191073 -
191074 - We need to work on this more after he starts using the SI to load the
191075 - Control Fields.  Currently this has not been done.

210719 - He is not yet posting Contacts to SDS records so he can do a report,
210720 - per ref SDS 1 line 220932?
210721 -
210722 - In one record, he manually entered some contact ID information in the
210723 - 02... contact lines.  I explained all of the data entry in these
210724 - lines have to be entered by the SDS program using the Contact system.
210725 - All free form text entry, goes below the 04... Control Field lines.
210726 - I showed him how to correct this using the F4 keys to move the date
210727 - he entered, and then we loaded Contacts to the record using the Menu.
210728 -
210729 - He saw how multiple contacts can be loaded, as many as necessary.
210730 -
210731 -         Showed how to open a Contact record and load it to an SDS
210732 -         record,

220501 - Installed new code and demonstrate use, per ref SDS 1 line 250704, and
220502 - as explained at ref SDS 2 line 080701.
220503 -
220504 -       Showed Denis how he can edit the SI on-line, because all he has
220505 -       to do is delete the lines he doesn't need.
220506 -
220507 -       I began adding SI sub-levels for current projects and deleting
220508 -       non-current projects, according to Denis' instructions, so he
220509 -       could see the method.  Then Denis did about 20 or so records
220510 -       himself, using the mouse and function keys.
220511 -
220512 -       He seems to like this function.
220513 -
220514 -       He asked if there is a way to transfer entries from the Master
220515 -       to the Current list.  I advised this is "under construction."
220516 -
220517 -
220518 - Marketing Account "05"
220519 -
220520 - Denis explained the "M....." accounts in the Master Project Roster,
220521 - which I put in his Project SI, are actually marketing identifiers.
220522 -
220523 - We considered the advantage of separating these from active projects,
220524 - and Denis made Primary account 05, a "Marketing" account.  I moved
220525 - the M..... data to the new "05" SI, and removed from his Current "03"
220526 - project SI, but did not remove them from the Master "03 00000" list.

220536 - here to assist him.  He also worked with function keys F1 F2 and F1
220537 - F3, to go forward, backward in the SI.
220538 -

240502 -
240503 - Discussed further how he can use linking to apply my notes to his
240504 - records, so he greatly reduces the amount of data entry he needs to do
240505 - which saves time.  I explained there is a benefit of doing data entry
240506 - under the POIMS philosophy that struggling with the language imparts
240507 - understanding and discloses gaps that need further consideration,
240508 - so managers can discover and avoid mistakes.

250603 - had this problem the other day, ref SDS 6 line 060701, and was able to

250609 - function to delete information from a directory.  This same code ran
250610 - fine the other day, ref SDS 1 line 290501.  It is a simple DOS call,
