+and a suvex-file editing page will open, pre-populated with an example template 
+for survex data, most of which you will delete and replace. Edit this template and type in your own data.
+<p>You can save your work by pressing the "Save this edited svx file" button, but it
+will refuse to save until you have hand-edited out all the template material in [square brackets].
+<p>As you edit it, you can
+press the "Differences between edited and saved versions of this file" and the differences which
+comprise your recent typing will be listed below the edit window.
+<p>Before you finish typing, use the third button "Run 'cavern' on this file".

+- If you haven't yet removed all the [square brackets] stuff, nothing will happen except a message

+<pre>  Error: remove all []s from the text. They are only template guidance.

+- But if you have done all that, then survex will process your new survex file and tell you interesting things about your survey data below the editing window. ('<a href="https://survex.com/docs/manual/cavern.htm">cavern</a>' is the survex engine which we use to process survex files.) 
+<p>You may see a number of error messages below the editing window: <em>read them and understand them</em>. If you don't understand them, <em>ask someone</em>.

+typing up your notes.
