Hi Steve, I signed up as a tester of the AF system and I started today on paper (as suggested) and your post has dragged me into thinking about it in electronic terms sooner than I expected it to. I mean that in the nicest possible way :) Yes, I did start with Page 1, Page 2 lists, and bumped that up in my context list with an ! mark. That way all the pages appear at the top of my context lists. The strike through allows you to delete incomplete tasks and move them to the last page via the copy function. As far as I can see, copying it doesn't allow you to inherit the context, so I have to replace the context when copying to the last page. The cool thing though is that copying to the last page doesn't carry the strikethrough format across, so your task appears neatly as an incomplete task at the end of your list.
Basically, I intend to allow the screen to fill up with tasks, perhaps limiting them to 30 or so, before creating a new context page. Just some of my initial thoughts on using MLO to work the AF system.
