I will guess that you are simply selecting a notes string within a notes category. The notes screen looks like comp.sys.amiga 8/10/88 56 Efficient RAM usage for hard-disk-le 2 acphssrw@csuna.UUCP 57 Introductory Posting 2 edwin@hcr.UUCP 58 how to improve sound capabilities 3 carli@munich.dec.com etc. comp.sys.amiga is the "notes category" or "notes file". The date of the posting is to the far left. The sequence number of the posting is next followed by the title of the "notes string". In the example (partial screen) I have shown, there are 2, 2, and 3 responses respectively. You posted the basenote 57. If I want to look at it directly, I type "56". From there, I can look at the responses by typing "j" one or more times. Alternately, I can go directly to a particular response by typing the number of that response. From your basenote or any of the responses, I can type "J" to read the next basenote. I can move to a previous note using "-". Typing "q" will exit comp.sys.amiga. It will then go to the next notes category in the list I have selected. If I want to go to another notes category which I did not select when I envoked notes, I can type "ncomp.sources.amiga". I hope this makes it more clear. Charles Brown charles%hpcvca@hplabs.hp.com
