Learn Vs Edit

I know in the book, it tells us to use edit to edit a learned program that is already stored.
I can't get my edit program to edit my learned programs.
In the edit program I just get a small curser in the middle of my screen. I chose the size curser (small) I chose the X for delete, I run what I want to delete from my program under my coil and it keeps beeping.
I would think it should take a couple of passes like in the learn mode and the object would stop giving a signal, but it doesn't it will stell give a signal.
I have gotten around this by using learn to edit my learn programs.
Am I doing anthing wrong in the edit program ?
Has anyone else had this problem?
I started with medium size curser for learn and then for fine tuning when to edit using the small curser to take out the iteams that were so close to what I'm hunting for.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but what I have done is working, I think. I could be leaving a crap load of goodies behind <IMG SRC="/forums/images/frown.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":(">
 
In the edit mode after choosing the size cursor pass the object uder the coil and then press the X or the check. HH Tim
 
the deit mode does not reject or accept tsargets under the coil, onlythe learn mode does that, what they are saying is you can edit a stored program that you built with the learn mode.. edit works like this you either accept or reject, then use the arrow keys to move the curser around.. its a little tricky at first, with nothing accepted or rejected move the curser to where you want to be then reject or accept.. move it around till you have the spot you want filled in or opened up.. make sure you uncheck before moving to another spot
 
That is a good post on the edit mode as many think that it will learn to accept or reject, but dont. This mode will let you set what you want to accept or reject.This is how many of us can just open the top right hand corner of the screen for our silver program and then go to learn and accept the nickles so we just get the good targets and the nickles.
One thing for those that are going to use the learn mode is to turn down the sensitivity to 1 and run your targets you are going to learn to accept or reject in a out from the center of the coil and not swing the coil over the target so you will not pick up any stray signals that will put spots all over the screen.

Went out to the park today took two rings, 3 bucks in clad, and a 1888 IH.
It always blows me away to dig on of those. I know you boys dig IH and Large cents all the time but here in California it's real rare to find anything in the 1800's.
Had a goog Sunday, Hope yours was good also.
 
Ring Man, You can EDIT in LEARN mode if you are careful. If you have a coin program saved (example: coin program saved in S-6) you need to clear the screen and call up just S-6. After checking it out on a couple of coins, switch to learn mode, select the size of coursor you want, select to except or reject (depending on if you want the target to be included or not included in the screen). Most of the time I want to except a new type of coil, etc. Now pass the target under (or over) the coil. After you have added your new targets you can either save it again as S-6 or another program. Before doing this on an existing program I would put together some test programs to play with so you won't lose a good program. I would also use this method when hunting areas that are trashy. If you have a lot of pull tabs, etc. that keep popping up, you can get several of the common ones that you have dug up and use the small cursor and reject them on the screen you are hunting with. Save the program in a blank spot (S-1 ~ S-6) I try to keep 1 or 2 program slots open just for this use. Don't save it over your original program because it will change when you go to a different area to hunt. I am not really sure about this part but, you may be able to just go BACK to Smart mode and start hunting without having to save it. As I mentioned before play around with it before you do it for real. Finally, if you think you have made a mistake, DON'T save it. Call the program back up and start over.
HH, Sam
