>:Well I live with a bunch of girls, 5 to be exact. Yes I know: poor 
Dave.
>:Anyway the girls change every couple months. Yes, it gets even better. 
But
>:it becomes a nuisance to update the CID file all the time. So I got to
>:thinking about ways to allow them to do the work for me. I think USER 
input
>:could have many uses. Anyway I thought it would make for a challenging 
and
>:interesting event. Shall we have a competition for best usage and code 
?
>:
>:I plan three implementations of the event. One from an X-10 Maxi-pad, 
one
>:from one of those little Genovation 2-line LCD keypads and the other 
on the
>:Panasonic PBX/Bigmouth combo where I am going to try to pull it off as 
a
>:local phone-macro.
>:
>:Normally I use a single CID file. A separate file for each user may be
>best.
>:A text item that would automatically be appended to the number after 
entry
>:and the complete string would be appended to the users CID file with a 
DOS
>:command.
>:
>:Example Dialog as follows:
>:ECS: CALL ID EDITOR
>:ECS: Enter Number and press #
>:User: 8756465#
>:ECS: Enter USER NUMBER and press #
>:User: 2#
>:ECS: 8756465 added to USER 2 CID List
>:
>:The actual CID file would look like this:
>:USER 2 CID List
>:3331212    2    Jasmin's Friend
>:8756465    2    Jasmine's Friend
>:
>:Notice the state for all of the numbers in USER 2's (Jasmine's) file 
can be
>:the same. The same state number allows easier filtering for 
personalized
>:Phone-Box User 2's outgoing message based on CID.
>:
>:Inputting the hyphen - in the xxx-xxx-xxxx or adding a persons name to 
the
>:number could be ugly unless there was really good voice prompting or 
keypad
>:overlays. I guess a touchscreen could make this much more interesting.
