Protocol from 7-9-84, S324
This piece of protocol is inaccurate and starts in the middle of the tape. But this is a very interesting part of the tape.

E:	Um... so/
 so how do you know what are sort of the important cards/
	like when you go in to write your paper how are you goint to know which are the important cards?
S:	Well, I think tha if I have done the job of making the fileboxes correctly/
	I won't have any problem/
	because that sort of breaks things down into managable units/
	where there's only going to be 10 or 15 cards at a time/
	and/
	that's sort of something you can look at and say oh yes this is important or it's not/
	but if you have to look at two hundred at a time/
	so thats that's why I think it's important to keep up a pretty articulated structure/
	that's broken down into pretty small units.
E:	well how do you identify the main ideas in your notefile then/
	I mean/
S:	how, hmm/
	I don't know/
	I mean it's sorta just/
E:	Are they the th the fileboxes?
S:	Yeah! ets/
	filebos.. or not an idea really/
	but a topic and um/
E:	Ah, and so then when you go thrugh what's in your filebox/
	like you say there's a few note Cards/
	so that the/
S:	Yeah!
E:	the few main points/
S:	There aren't too many of the fileboxes that have/
	have a whole lot of cards in them/
	so, I can look at them sort of as a group/
	without getting too lost.
E:	And you have you have a like you said, a good understanding of the/
	the material at this point/
S:	its just bahz
	so that you can go in/
	and look at these 15 cards/
E:	and say, ya know, yeah/
S:	oh I remember this card, yeah/
E:	these.. these two are the sort of the big ones
S:	sure/
E:	that I want to get across./
	But is that represented in your file/
	in any way/
	do you use/
S:	I don't know! (clears throat)/
	I'm not sure, uhm.../
	it may be um, by, na cards that are referred to a lot/
	it's possible, I'm not sure if that's true or not/
	umm/
	it's hard to say/
	one thing I ta I talked about with Tom/
	awhile back, is th is the problem with the difference/
	between...having it on the screen and having it in paper/
	I find, like/
	th, when I have things on paper/
	it sort of just handling it and writing it, is/
	something sticks in your head/
	much more than these/
	I don't remember these cards/
	as well/
	as I would have if I'd written them./
	It's hard to explain, but/
	like, I don't know if you have this/
	too, but like if I'm thinking about a book/
	er, notes or something I can sortof halfway remember where on the page/
	you know it is/
	and/
	bu, in this, youknow/
	I don hav/
E:	You move around too much./
