593.0. "A bug in NOTES ?" by JOCKEY::SHARKEY (I drink therefore I can) Sat Oct 31 1987 04:13

    This probably isnt the correct notes file but ....
    
    Has anyone noticed in NOTES, if you keep pressing KP, (next new
    note) that it misses odd replies. I've gone back and looked at the
    dates and they are later than the previous one.
    
    Anyone tell me why ??

    You mean NEXT UNSEEN, right ? When you press this key, it doesn't
    read all the replies in the current note, it goes to the next note
    that has something you haven't seen yet. It is left up to the user
    to Read the Remaining Replies before pressing NEXT UNSEEN.

This is an intentional part of the design of KP,.  If you have not read all
of the replies of a particular note, it takes you to the next NOTE, not the
next REPLY.  This lets you bypass long discussions that you don't want to
see all in one fell swoop.  Use KP ENTER if you wish to step through all unseen
replies as well as unseen base notes.
