Want short demos of interesting Interlisp features about medley

[masinter]

The outline of demo features in the LispNYC slide presentation corresponds to a breakdown of demos to give

There are a couple of videos demos listed in the Medley Wiki but nothing systematic.

Writing a script would be the first order.

@skaisler1 want to try your hand at script writing? I was thinking we could do a lot of short (2 minute) feature demos.
I could get some help editing recorded screen-share demos, perhaps linked to chapters of the books.

The explanation of how to use the Medley mouse and keyboard probably would be best a video clip;

Interlisp Exec: You need a 2 or 3 button mouse, or know how to have your trackpad/buttons generate a right-mouse-button event as well as the left-mouse-button event. Then: right-mouse-button down (and hold) in the background (the gray stipple not in any window) and you'll get a pop-up menu with EXEC as one of the items, slide the mouse pointer over that until it highlights, then slide right (it has the ► to indicate it has sub-menus) and over the "Interlisp" item (it also has sub-menus) and release the mouse button on the highlighted "Interlisp" item. It will then prompt you to position and size the new Exec window -- left button down to freeze the top-left corner and drag out the region and then release it to set the lower-right corner. Click in the window to give it the keyboard focus and then you can type at it.

@masinter I'd be honored to help create a demo. Thank you for thinking of me. :)

I like the idea of "live" demos which are actually done inside medley, with image objects. The video is to show them that it's easy ad what to expect.
