The computed direction (in geographic and stratigraphic coordinates) is displayed along with a scrollable pane with all the previous least squares picks for this locality. You can view the old directions either by the order in the .LSQ file ("File"), the sample number, or the three letter code assigned the fits (ID). Previous fits for this sample are highlighted and the last of these fits is centered in the window. You can select fits to delete with the "Delete Selected" button by point-and-click techniques, but remember that until you deselect them, all the fits of the current sample are selected. You are notified how many picks you will delete and asked to verify this; after this, the window again highlights any fits of the current sample. The fits selected for deletion will actually be overwritten and lost forever only when you next save a least-squares fit. If you assign the same 3 letter code to a fit as a fit for the sample already in the .LSQ file, then you will be asked if you wish to replace the previous fit. If you say yes, this direction will replace the old direction at the same line in the file.
