Log Book Documentation Jack W. Alexander M.D. 9/04/1990 Red Wing, Mn. Log Book (LogBook.tbk) is a ToolBook application which allows the user to keep track of books which are being developed. It automatically tracks the name of the book, the time logged in and logged out, and the ellapsed time of that particular session. It also has a place to jot down notes of that particular session. To use Log Book you must have ToolBook (the full version) and a copy of Log Book. Place LogBook.tbk in your "ToolBook" directory. You must then place the "to handle enterBook" script, the "to handle leaveBook" script, and the "to get EllapsedTime" function in the book script of the book you want to keep track of. A copy of the above scripts are included in the Book script of LogBook.tbk. These scripts are "commented out", so that you will have to remove the "--" from the first two columns of each line when you place them in your book you want to keep track of. For example, suppose the name of the book you are developing is MyBook.tbk. Copy the scripts "to handle enterBook", "to handle leaveBook" , and "to get EllapsedTime" from the book script of LogBook.tbk and paste them in the book script of MyBook.tbk. Save the results and then exit the book. Each time you Open MyBook.tbk you will be asked if you want to Log In. If you want to keep track of that particular session answer "Yes", if not answer "No". If LogBook.tbk is not currently active ToolBook will launch LogBook.tbk as another instance. Simply minimize LogBook.tbk and your book MyBook.tbk will open. When you are ready to exit MyBook.tbk simply exit the MyBook.tbk as usual. LogBook will take care of the rest. At that point, you can "unminimize" LogBook.tbk and record some notes from that session. This program is a freebee, please feel free to use it at will. If you make some nice modifications I'd like to see what you've done. In any case I'd like to hear what you think. Please don't be too harsh on my programming style, it's all I've got. Enjoy... Jack
