1277.0. "Window interface suggestion" by HSOMAI::LIN () Mon Jul 22 1991 22:23

    DECmcc window interface suggestion:
    
    1. Incorporate report/graph/set alarm as window menu items.
       It's very difficult to remember the syntax to set alarm.
       It's very unfriendly that you need to create a DECterm to
       do report/graph/set alarm
    
    2. Operation Time screen should be part of show, record, export.
       There are a lot of time I need go back and forth between operation
       time screen and show/record/export screen just make selection time 
       right.  I will be easier that operation time is part of these
       options's screen.
    
    3. Operation menu items should be reduced.
       Right now it has about 20 entries, to activate the last one, you
       need to hold the mouse botton and drag about 8 inches down.  You 
       need a big mouse pad in order not to run out of space.  Maybe
       DECwindow 3.0  will help, at least you don't hold the botton.
       But still, reducing to 10 items (record, export submenu) make it 
       more friendly

Re item of 3 of 1277.0

Operation menu items should be reduced

If the list of operation menu entries is long, you might consider using list 
mode.  This can be customized so the Operations Menu always comes up as a list
box via Customize Map or you may select ListBox for Operation Mode from the
Operations Menu.
