Hi all,
Roger, thanks for the input and the good information. One fortunate
thing is that if I need to do so, I can go back to my Apex and do what
I need to do there.
All this stuff does take time, and I trust that HW will do their best
to include as many features as they can.
I would like, however, to point out that having the ability to select a
repeating appointment and having it scheduled on the 1st or 3rd
Thursday of the month is somewhat critical. Many people have monthly
meetings that occur on such days. Having the ability to schedule
repeating appointments of this kind would be extremely valuable.
I notice it can schedule weekly appointments that occur each Monday, or
whatever. Guess this must be a sticky wicket for some reason.
If I have to wait till it can be done, that's OK, if I know that at
least somebody heard me and is working on it. If it's an impossible
do, I'll just have to deal. It's not a biggy, but it does make
scheduling my life a might easier. Knowing what is and isn't possible
is helpful, at least to me so that I don't ask repeatedly for
impossible things. That just frustrates developers.
Happy Mothers Day to all.

Hi Ann an dall touch users,
Greg Stilson is now working on improving all keysoft apps in version 4.0,
hopefully released in summer 2017.
People must understand that keysoft is overlaid on to android so they can
not bring over features from the apex, because that was written for MS CE
6.
They have had 3 major android upgrades and now they will be improving the
keysoft apps next.
Greg is very aware of the need for the keysoft apps to be brought up to the
level or better than what was in the apex, including the poor functions of
the bookshare app and bard app, since the touch has the victor stream app
and it does work far better, once HumanWare improves those two apps and
brings the NLS key to the touch, so the victor app will do what we want.
Also what is provided in android is not as full or richh as what we found in
the Apex, so they have to write the features in to the keysoft apps on the
touch, in some cases the feature we want like highlighting and copy an
dpaste from the KeyWeb is not in android except using finger swipes, so
HumanWare must convert that to keyboard commands in to the KeyWeb app.
So be patient, remember the Apex didn't have many features for years after
it was released, look how long it took before Apex could access word docx
files!
So please understand the Android operating system is totally different then
what the Apex ran on!
Regards,
Roger Behm

Subject: [BNU] improvements which are needed
Morning all,
Some folks have sent in a list of improvements they'd like to see on the
Touch. Here are mine.
I'd like to see the planner improved in a couple of ways. One thing I
really, really like about the planner on the Apex is that when you set a
recurring appointment, it actually does what you ask it to do. Here's an
example. If I have an appointment that recurs on the second wednesday or
the third tuesday of a month, The Touch botches it every blessed time. It
thinks that what I want is to have the appt. come on the fifth of every
month or the tenth of every month. I get my recurring appointments on all
kinds of weird dates because The Touch can't accommodate appointments that
recur on anything but the same day of the month. This is unacceptable.
Has anyone found a good calendar program that doesn't do this? I don't
know why HW couldn't have imported *all* the features of Keyplan
correctly.
Ann P.
