I told you a wrong thing last night. If you put a remote-password on one
of your areas, say ESS, then that area can be given the local-user privilege
and you will be able to alias to your other areas and write files there
(assuming that the area in question may be written on by local users).

THIIS IS FEYNMAN. TRIED OUT YOUR SYSTEM. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WORKED
OR NOT. ANYWAY APE WAS "NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE TIME BEIMG". THEY NEVER DID
ASK ME FOR THE "REMOTE USERS PASSWORD" AND KEPT ASKING ME MY NAME, BUT THEN
KEPT GOING BEFORE I COULD WRITE IT DOWN. NO COMPLAINTS, THO - BUT I
THOUGHT IF I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE AT LEAST I COULD SEND YOU A MESSAGE.
I ENJOYED YOUR STAY HERE VERY MUCH. I HAVEN'T YET THOUGHT ANY DEEP THOUGHTS
ABOUT MY LANGUAGE LEARNER FOLLOWING YOUR SUGGESTIOONS. I EXPECT TO WORK ON
IT LATER THIS SUMMER. BYE.

john as far as i know you haven't done anything about sending doctor's dilemna
to harpers. we discussed the idea just before i left and i think that we should
follow through. it is truly an ingenious piece and one which should be shared
for the proper price. however, i think we should first clean up a few of the rough
spots and check spelling. shall we get on it?-kasee

...ALSO, THE TURN TABLE DOES NOT WORK. If I had to state only one reason
why A.I. research is difficult it would be the fact that interfacing a
Sandwich machine gets more hardware priority than Cart or Video related
things.

another sodden thought on progposed structured LISP:
there is a diresct and mechanical trnaslation of the obvious s-lisp
version of MC-PAinter to the declarations and axioms of MCP*.AX, so
proofs could be carried out with FOL. But reasoning in s-lisp, proofs
are shorter since you can reason on abstract d.s. representations and notation is
better.

Por causa ergonomics:
There is now a display-oriented version of FOL. It is FOL on [R,ajt].
When started up it looks like normal FOL until it is given the magical command
`DISPLAY <nothing>|<AXIOMS>|<THEOREMS>|<LABELS>|<DECLARATIONS>';
If <nothing> then the proof window takes up the whole screen and things proceed
normally from there. If it's something else then a second window is opened,
labelled that alternative and those things are printed to that window as
appropriate. e.g. if you say `DISPLAY AXIOMS' then any axioms will get typed in the
RHS window. FETCH and SHOW work in the normal way through the display. If you
have two windows open, have done some proof and say `DISPLAY <nothing>' again, then
the RHS window is flushed and the last five lines of your proof are refreshed into
a full-screen window. `UNDISPLAY' returns you to normal FOL format.
The format is still fluid at the moment, awiting feedback from users(that
means you!) about their preferences. So try it and see.
The system version of FOL and this FOL also have modal operators: for that see
MFOL.NOT[R,AJT]. These features will be described in the new FOL manual which will
appear soon.
have fun. arthur.
