Both the Sage and the DASDEC have control via browser.  That solves 
all the difficulties of small screens and confusing soft-keys that 
change functions.  I know our air staff really prefers running the 
Sage via browser.  CAP messages generally show the full text of the 
alert.  If they choose not to relay the alert, but still want to use 
it as a news item, they can read and print it from the computer.  If 
the alert contains an audio message, the browser gives them access to 
it as an MP3 file that can be used again later.
