641.0. "Technical Question about Eve/Notes" by SUPER::HENDRICKS (The only way out is through) Tue Jan 05 1988 18:20

    
    Eve wizards (Jim B, are you caught up yet?):
                                             
    Is there a way to bring a note from another basenote into the
    NOTES$SCRATCH eve buffer in order to reply to it?  That would help
    people to answer notes in a parallel string.

RE: .0

How about:

NOTES> <read note you want to reply to>
NOTES> EXTRACT/BUFFER T
NOTES> <read note where you want the reply>
NOTES> REPLY
EVE Command:  OTHER BUFFER
EVE Command:  BUFFER T
EVE Command:  TOP                (probably already at top)
EVE Command:  SELECT             ( or the select key)
EVE Command:  BOTTOM
EVE Command:  REMOVE             ( or the remove key)
EVE Command:  OTHER BUFFER
EVE Command:  INSERT             ( or insert key)

It's a bit long, but I don't think there are many shortcuts in vanilla flavored
EVE.  Of course you *could* program the whole mess to one command, but I
think that is a bit move then I want to explain.

    re .0:
    
    The best way I have found is to :
    
    NOTES> EXT/BUFFER notes$edit
    
    go where you want to reply
    
    NOTES> REPLY/LAST
    
    the note to which you are replying will be in the "lower" window,
    but it should be easy enough to delete the stuff you don't want
    to quote.
    
                                                   
                  /
                 (  ___
                  ) ///
                 /

    After you issue the REPLY command and you're ready to start editing
    do this first (or second).
    
    Press the DO key and at the Command: prompt enter:
    
    TPU NOTES$$READ_NOTE_HERE('1.0');
    
    where you replace 1.0 with the note number that you want included
    in your edit buffer.
