Here is how to create and submit reply comments. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY OR EXPECT TO HAVE YOUR INPUT IGNORED.
(1) Obtain Commentary <http://ieee802.org/16/docs/Commentary>.
(2) Unzip the Comment Report to get a USR file, which will open in Commentary.
(3) Read the comments in Commentary. When you want to respond to a comment, check the "Marked" at the top of that record. Then fill out the following fields:
Recommendation:
Proposed Resolution:
Reason for Recommendation:
(4) When you are finished entering replies, look under Scripts and choose "Find Marked Records". This will find the records for which you checked the "Marked" box.
(5) Put your name in the "Recommendation by" field of each reply {for a quick method, see Appendix at the end of this note.}
(6) Under Scripts, choose "Export Clause Editor's Proposals". Choose the file type "FileMaker Pro Runtime Files". Enter a file name of the form "16a_reply_Name.USR", where "Name" is your name.
(7) Email the exported file as an attachment to <mailto:ballot@wirelessman.org>.
(8) Don't forget the deadline.
(9) The creator of each original comment will be offered the opportunity to generate a draft comment resolution and to lead the resolution at Session #21 (or appoint an alternative person to do so).
(10) In some cases, comments refer to contributions. These contributions, if available, are indexed at <http://ieee802.org/16/tga> (see "Before or During Session #21").

Appendix: Using "Replace" in Commentary
You can replace everything in a particular field over a batch of records. For example, clause editors might not want to type their name in the the "Recommendation by" field each time. Here is a solution to the problem illustrating the use of "Replace":
*Finish entering your data.
*Find the batch of records in which you want to replace a field.
*In browse mode, and put the cursor in the "Recommendation by" field.
*Under "Records", choose "Replace".
*Choose "Replace with calculated result".
*In the box, write, in quotation marks, your name. Click "OK".
*Click "Replace".
