    Hey could y'all review this video for me.
    https://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=M0N1ISGUmE1teRUZhnskcA2
    Two notes:
    Y'all have to press the the BIG arrow key to advance the video (upper left hand corner) from pause to pause
    Once you start the video click on the icon for full screen at the bottom right hand corner.

    I would appeciate your feedback.

    Thanks
    Ralph

      Ralph, It is better now that you added the help flag verbiage as to what
      you are doing.

      Perhaps before you do several things, edit compile . you have a verbiage
      window that says what you are going to do, then the steps and help flags as
      you do now.

      However, the F1 key does not work for me, and if I am in e or s for edit, F1
      is cut.

      I will watch it again this week end.

      Thanks

      Mickey

      Hi Ralph
      if you'd like a review of the video, I can tell you it's definitely very well done, so I applaud you.
      It explains the functions clearly, and this way of stopping at key points helps you better understand the solution's functions.
      The text that appears is also very helpful in explaining the context.
      It's clear you've prepared it well and put it together with care.

    Thank you very much for publishing this.

    Unfortunately, the image is very difficult to read without logging into Flashback.

      After you click on the play "arrow" you will see in the lower right had corner the icon for full screen.
      Click the icon
      This makes the video much easier to read

    Mickey regarding the F1 key not working.
    I use(d) Windows wordpad / write to display the help screens in rich text format (RTF)
    The problem is Windows 11 no longer provides wordpad and there is no longer any stock MSFT windows component that understands RTF format.

    I will use WORD to convert the RTF help files into text files so that I can dispatch MSFT notepad.

    Good grief !
    Sorry about that

    Thank you Mickey !

      Text will also allow to show it in your own editor :-)

      Note: you may be able to convert it to "markdown" - this way it looks good as text (with text-formatting) but still can be converted to PDF/RTF/HTML/... at any time with keeping the formatting and links.
