  This is a set of notes which reviews and addresses issues in the SL(2,R)
conformal field theory, while working primarily in a basis of vertex operators
of definite weight under the affine algebra. Following a review of the H3 coset
model and the spectrum of the SL(2,R) CFT, derivations are given for the
selection rules and the reduction of descendant to primary correlators
involving arbitrary spectral flowed modules. Together with a description of the
equivalence of correlation functions of fixed total spectral flow, this leads
to an enumeration of the minimal set of three-point amplitudes required to
determine the fusion rules. The corresponding fusion rules for elements of the
spectrum are compared to those which arise through analytic continuation of the
OPE of primary fields in the H3 model, and the apparent failure of the closure
of the associated SL(2,R) OPE is described in detail. A discussion of the
consistency of the respective fusion rules with the conjectured structure of
equivalent factorizations of SL(2,R) four-point correlators is presented.
