I didn't explain that method very well. Probably about as well as my "directs" looked on a radar scope.
If you remember doing this, I guess you understood it, sort of.

Think what you're referring to is "fix-to-fix" navigation. Something I'm not sure anyone "fully understood" in UPT, or thereafter.
For your reminiscent pleasures though, I've included a link for remedial training.
