not the main purpose of a software like Guide, although it can be
convenient. But the developper of Guide only has two hands and 24h a day
and, under these conditions, I prefer that he spends time in developping
purely astronomical features of Guide than in implementing a log book.

I agree perfectly with Laurent, there are many important things that
Bill can improve for us, and the one shown by Laurent is one of them:
when I need to copy information from Guide I have to do it "BY HAND",
and this is absurdly useless.
Hope Bill will receive many more requests on this matter.
