Dear Mark,
I am not sure if it would help to have several different journals
To begin journaling to the file myjournal.pro, enter:JOURNAL,
'myjournal.pro'
To show on which machine it is done you can use the hostname and the
clock.
I believe this is different enough.
Myself I am working many times interactive too. All what I am evaluating
becomes a procedure or function with a lot of comments.
The Journal has no comments how did you remember later what's you like
to
have and what's not?
Normally I start in idlde or emacs with a procedure declaration and a
stop.
All what's I like to do are defined interactively. If it works I copy
this
to the procedure. The procedure runs again and stops somewhere else
where I like to add some lines and so on. After the routine is finished
I take a look on it if it is better a function or a procedure.
