Here is a demonstration of the use of sdtty, illustrating
various concepts and other capabilities. You should follow along on
your computer. You must use sdtty version 31.67 or later.
We will write a long and horrible sequence that illustrates a number
of things that the program can do, and shows how you can get it to do them.
First, we start the program. We will run it at C2.
If using DOS or UNIX, type sdtty and press
<ENTER>
at the prompt:
C:\SD> sdtty <ENTER>
If using Windows, click on the sdtty icon. In either case, you should see:
Enter the level:
The program wants us to type the level. Type c2 and press <ENTER>:
Enter the level: c2 <ENTER>

After displaying all the introductory stuff, the program wants us to enter a startup command. The line
Enter startup command>
is called a prompt. If we type a question mark at this point, it will list the possible things we could type. Here is what it displays:
Enter startup command> ?
exit from the program
heads 1p2p
sides 1p2p

It displays a number of choices, and then gives us another prompt. We will type heads start, and press <ENTER>:
Enter startup command> heads start <ENTER>

It displays some bookkeeping information, and shows us
the setup with the heads in the middle, waiting for
a call. Below that, it shows the current line of our
sequence. It is line 1, and all it knows so far is that
it is going to start with heads.
The --> prompt is the general prompt that it
gives when it wants us to enter a call.
If we were to type question mark at this point, it
would show over 500 possible calls, concepts, and other
commands, so we won't do it for this demo (though you
may wish to try it).
We type pass the ocean, and press <ENTER>.

It has now done the call. The first line of the sequence is
now complete: HEADS pass the ocean. This line will be
printed on the finished sequence. It shows the result setup,
shows that line 2 has nothing on it yet, and gives us another
prompt. The time, the prompt reminds us that we are in
diamonds or quarter tags.
We type extend and press
<ENTER>.
(diamond/qtag)--> extend <ENTER>

It shows the full sequence that we have so far. After it does
any call, it shows a picture of the setup before and after.
In this case, it has done the extend on line 2, and is
showing the setup before and after. Those pictures will not
be printed on the final sequence (unless we request that the program
do so, by giving the keep picture command). The pictures
before and after the last call are displayed on the screen
just so we can be sure that we agree with what the computer did.
The prompt shows that we are in waves.
We want to do a tandem swing thru at this point. Tandem is a
concept.
There are two ways of dealing with concepts. One is to type just the
concept name, press <ENTER>, type the call name, and press
<ENTER> again. This method is less convenient, but it always works.
The more convenient way is simply to type the concept(s) and call all on one
line, followed by <ENTER>, as in tandem swing thru <ENTER>.
It won't make any difference in the final printout which method you used.
The significance of this is discussed in more detail
in the “Entering Concepts” chapter of the reference manual.
For the purposes of this demo, we will use the one-line method wherever
possible. So we type tandem swing thru, and press
<ENTER>.

resolve is:
extend, right and left grand (1/4 promenade)
4:
(waves)-->
It is now showing us 3 lines. There are pictures of the setup
before and after the tandem swing thru, but it is not showing
earlier pictures. It assumes we are satisfied with what went
on previously.
Line 4 is now blank and ready to be filled in.
The program has noticed that we happen to be in a setup
from which we could say extend, right and left grand, and
is pointing that out to us. If we wanted to end the sequence right
here, we could do so (by typing write this sequence or pressing
<F10>).
Instead, we are going to continue, and forget all about that resolve.
Let's demonstrate some concepts that identify people.
We will do a 1/2 acey deucey to make a 3x1 diamond setup.
Type 1/2 acey deucey, and press
<ENTER>.
--> 1/2 acey deucey <ENTER>

5:
-->
The program puts commas in the final
sequence where needed for clarity. You never type them in.
It now shows us the full line 4, and the 3x1 diamond that resulted.
It places a comma after some concepts to make everything completely unambiguous.
You never need to type the commas.
As the sequence progresses, early parts of it may scroll off the
top of the screen and be invisible. Note that, in this example,
we have not shown line 1, but are only showing the last few calls.
How much you see on your screen may be different. Don't worry,
the computer remembers the whole sequence and will print it all
out when we are done.
We would like the girls to circulate in the big diamond around the
outside. We must use the disconnected concept to do this. The
disconnected concept is C2. Now it happens that you could almost
certainly get dancers to do what you want at lower levels by saying
girls diamond circulate around the outside, or something like
that, but the program doesn't know that. It insists on meticulously
correct use of concepts. If we wanted to do this at a level below
C2, we would therefore have to tell the program that we really want
to use a concept that isn't legitimate. We can do this by giving
the toggle concept levels command. But in the present situation
we don't need to do that, because we are running the program at
C2. So we use the girls disconnected concept. There are
<anyone> disconnected concepts for a number of designators,
such as boys, girls, heads, sides, centers, ends, beaus, belles,
etc. Many of them would of course be illegal in the present context,
but girls disconnected is legal.

The program shows a few calls back, and the just-completed call
with pictures before and after. We can use other designators also.
Let's do a heads disconnected diamond circulate at this point.
As usual, we will type the concept and the call, and press
<ENTER>.
The program responds by showing this:
--> heads disconnected diamond circulate <ENTER>

We could have the boys diamond circulate. They are not
disconnected, so we just use the boys concept. As with
disconnected, there are boys, girls, centers, ends,
leads, trailers, etc. concepts. From now on, we will usually
not describe in detail the act of entering concepts and calls.

We could also have designated them as the centers, since the
centers of a 3x1 diamond is the center diamond. Let's try it.
But first, let's undo the boys diamond circulate that we just
entered. The undo command does this. There are two ways of entering
this command. One way, of course, is to type undo, and press
<ENTER>.
(The full name of the command is undo last
call, but we just need to type undo. The program will show the
full name.) The other way is to press function key <F9>. Many
function keys are arranged to perform common operations. The list is given
in the “Terminal Interface” chapter of the reference manual.

The program has erased the boys diamond circulate, and is
showing us the last few calls of the remaining sequence. It
is prompting us for the new line 7. Have the centers diamond

Now we would like to have the heads in the center wave do
a swing thru. We can't say centers, because the centers
of a 3x1 diamond are the center diamond, not the center line.
Instead, we use the center 1x4 concept.
4B>
4G^ 1G^ 1BV 3B^ 3GV 2GV
2B<
8: CENTER 1X4 swing thru
4B>
4G^ 1B^ 3GV 1G^ 3BV 2GV
2B<
The concept is called center 1x4 instead of center line
or center wave or center column because otherwise it would
lead to a proliferation of concept names that basically do
the same thing. When reading the card, you should probably
say “center wave of 4,” or something like that.
Of course, instead of center 1x4, we could have designated
the people directly, since they are the heads. Let's have them
trade the wave to demonstrate that:
4B>
4G^ 1B^ 3GV 1G^ 3BV 2GV
2B<
9: HEADS trade the wave
4B>
4G^ 1GV 3B^ 1BV 3G^ 2GV
2B<
Now we would like to have the center wave of 6 do a grand swing thru. We use the center 1x6 concept:
4B>
4G^ 1GV 3B^ 1BV 3G^ 2GV
2B<
10: CENTER 1X6 GRAND swing thru
4B>
1G^ 1BV 4G^ 2GV 3B^ 3GV
2B<
Incidentally, grand is a concept. So, if we were typing concepts
one at a time, we could have typed
center 1x6, pressed <ENTER>, grand, pressed <ENTER>,
and swing thru, and pressed <ENTER>
a third time. Of course, we don't bother with that.
Just type center 1x6 grand swing thru and press
<ENTER>.
Let's have the centers flip the diamond while the ends explode.
For this we use the centers (while the others) concept.
As usual, there is a whole series of these concepts, for centers,
heads, sides, leads, trailers, and so on.
Yes, the concept actually looks like that when we type it in.
It even has to have the parentheses. The program will print
it out on the card looking much better than that, but, while
we type it in, the name of the concept is “centers (while the others)”.
A very important thing you need to know is that one-line entry is not allowed
for those concepts that take two calls. Therefore, you must type the name
of the concept, press <ENTER>,
and type each of the two calls, pressing <ENTER> after each one.
Now, because of the completion property of Sdtty, we don't
have to type the whole name “centers (while the others)”.
As soon as we have typed the
left parenthesis, the program knows what concept it has to be.
One thing we could do is type centers ( and then press
<ESC>.
The program will put the rest of the concept on the screen
just as though we had typed it.
--> centers ( <ESC>
the screen now shows
--> centers (while the others)
because the program has typed while the others) for us.
We can now press
<ENTER>
to tell the program that we want that concept.
Another thing we could have done, if we were really sure we
knew what we wanted without seeing it, is to just press
<ENTER>
after typing centers (, without pressing
<ESC>.
Either way, the program takes the centers (while the others)
concept, and gives us another prompt. This is the prompt for
the call that we want the centers to do.
--> centers (while the others)
11: CENTERS
-->
Line 11 just says CENTERS. It will say more very soon.
At the prompt, we type flip the diamond, and press
<ENTER>.
--> flip the diamond <ENTER>
11: CENTERS flip the diamond
ENTER SECOND CALL
-->
Line 11 is looking more complete. We are given another prompt, with special instructions. It wants the second call. This is, of course, the call for the ends. Type explode, and press <ENTER>.
ENTER SECOND CALL
--> explode <ENTER>

Line 11 is finished. As promised, it looks much better
than it did when we typed it in. The program knows that
the others are actually the ends, and it has put the whole
thing into a reasonable word order. The program's exact
wording may not always be ideal—you are responsible for
using the right words when you call the card.
The program has put a warning into the sequence, in case someone
mistakenly thinks that the opposite elongation rule for the
concentric concept somehow applies here. Warnings are printed
in a wide variety of situations, if the program thinks that
there might be some danger of misinterpretation. In most cases,
you should not read the warnings when calling.
(Incidentally, instead of centers (while the others), we
could have said sides (while the others). If we had done
this, the sequence would of course say “SIDES flip the diamond
WHILE THE HEADS explode”.)
To prepare for what comes next, do a chain reaction and ah so.

Have the leads press ahead to make blocks. Incidentally, when we type
leads press ahead, the program does not consider “leads” to be
a concept. The name of the call is simply leads press ahead.
The same is true of all the other little press-and-truck calls, like
quarter left, quarter right, u-turn back, and
shove off. Of course, this point is of little concern to us at present.
We just type leads press ahead.

We now want to unwrap the interlocked diamonds. We can type this
in any of three ways. Interlocked, like grand, cross,
magic, left, single, split, and those sorts
of things, is
considered by the program to be a concept. As such, we could type
interlocked unwrap the diamonds <ENTER>.
We could also type unwrap the interlocked diamonds
directly, with the word order the way it is supposed to be.
A number of calls that take magic, interlocked, cross, and left
modifiers with unusual word order can be typed in that exact word
order. It isn't easy to know which ones, so it is always safe to
type the concept name first and then see what happens. No matter
how we type it, it gets printed out with the correct word order.

Let's have the column circulate one and a half times. There is
a 1-1/2 concept (in fact, there is a 1-M/N concept for any
reasonable value of M and N). There is actually a hyphen (minus sign)
in the concept name, to avoid confusion when looking at the card.
However, you don't need to type the hyphen. You can just type 1 1/2.

The boys were in a disconnected setup. Why didn't we need to say
boys disconnected hinge? The reason is that hinge is just a
two-person call, and the people actually doing each hinge were
right next to each other. If we had instead wanted the boys to
do a box circulate, we would have had to say disconnected.

concept.
We can have the four in the middle do a swing thru. The head
boys will step to right hands and begin the call, and then
finish with the head girls. We can use the centers, or
center diamond, or heads concept.
As discussed above, the centers
in a 3x1 diamond (which is what this is, even though people are facing in
unusual directions) are the center diamond.

The program is still prompting us for more. The facts that
we have a resolve, and that the sequence is 45 calls long, don't
mean anything to the computer. In order to really write this
out we have to give the write this sequence command.
We type write this sequence, and press

(We could also have pressed function key
<F10>.)
The program prompts us for a comment.

Sequence written to "sequence.C2".
Enter startup command>
This sequence is so excessively long that, when you follow this demo on your computer, you very likely won't be able to see it all on your screen, but it's all there. The program then reassures us that the sequence was written:
Sequence written to "sequence.C2".
It then prompts us for instructions on starting another sequence:
Enter startup command>
We could type, for example, sides start, and do the next sequence, or we could type exit. The file sequence.C2 contains the sequence in all its glory. If we print it out, it would probably take 2 or 3 pages. Don't call this card.
