Interlisp Online web page problems... need operability improvements, questions answered

Include an image of the second screen to display when the user logs in or logs in as a guest. Doing so will help clarify steps 3 through 5.

• 1. What is the difference between Interlisp and Common Lisp? Why does a new user want to start with Interlisp?
• 2. Why would the user choose Notecards or Rooms? The user will not know what the Notecards App or the Rooms App do for them. And all the help tells me is that selecting them will run the apps. Would the user ever select both apps? Or is it important they only choose one of the two apps?
• 3. What does the Fill Browser Window checkbox do for the user? What happens if it isn't checked? What happens if the numbers are changed?
• 4. When you show an image of a button, make it look like a button ).
• 5. We state that there is a status bar window. However, I just see what look like buttons to the right of the screen. They are not contained in a window. Is that what we mean by the Status Bar Window? I think it needs to be explained differently.
• 6. Include a notification that the buttons on the right of the screen do not cause the cursor to change state when you mouse over them. However, they do work when you click on them.
• 7. Broken link to Guide to help you begin programming in Interlisp.
• 8. Under Writing a Sample Interlisp Progam: (Program should be singular, it is currently plural.) I had to press Enter to get the calculation result. We might also want to be clear that there needs to be a space between the numbers inside the parenthesis.
• 9. How do I exit Medley? I am stuck. I tried typing EXIT and LOGOUT. Finally I just closed the browser window. Many users would find an inability to logout scary.
• 10. I am not sure the Managing memory images and sessions section belongs here. As a beginner, I find it confusing. Right now, I am just playing with the system. As a guest login I do not think it matters to me. Just for starters, I have the following questions: What is a memory image? How is it different from an image or memory?

We could make this more of a "in Medley" situation, where there's a TEdit document or form or maybe even Notecards.
