Hi, oh thanks for the info, didn't had in mind that we still have those different versions...

Yes, and if it sounded to rough from my side sorry. I'm doing my mails on the fly the day over and preferr shorter mails over good wording ;-)

I hope the really quick & dirty stuff got you started.

Ok, you could even have just hacked in your search. The correct template will be selected for you.
> c- Press the Graph button located under the left search-field
Ok, you got me: The graph button just works on the right side :-| The effect you see is because searching is done as soon as the cursor leaves the search field. So you think searching is done by pressing graph, but it's because you leave the field. The left-graph button has no functionality yet.

You will see the template for a note. You don't have to select a template just to press graph. These are not related.

Perfect! So it's working :-)))

Correct.

Hey, that's great! :-))

Yep, the prototype isn't bullet-proof... So you have to be careful ;-)

Thanks a lot for this "how-to-get-started" from a user's POV. I hope Gerard's notes help others too. Robert
