This has the added advantage that you can skip a screenload of a multiple page note. 'j' takes you to the next note, which isn't always what you want. The only time I EVER see the `menu' (index page?) is when I want to search for author/title, or see how many notes are in the group. What is this 'menu' you refer to? Is it possible you have a local front end to notes? If so, you ought to be able to do an endrun around it somehow. Dave Olson, {harpo,ihpn4,hpda}!fortune!olson
