Thanks Arnold Howard and Wes Rolley for responses to the problem of
skipping a segment:

I did locate the information in the Skutt manual- -page 25- -
It works only in the Ramp/Hold mode. When the cone goes down, you
press View & Enter quickly afterward. This will produce a SStP
meaning Skipped Step. Hit Enter again and the new segment numbers
will come up.

I just did this yesterday and made note of the temperature showing in
the display, so next firing I will be able to hone in on the right
temp for my kiln.
