412.0. "MOUSE TAKEN OVER BY NOTES... :-(" by IOSG::WDAVIES (Winton Davies 7-830-4188) Thu Mar 16 1989 07:57

    Ok, I'm really miffed... I'm running decwindows, then setting host to
    our main cluster, to use notes/allin1 etc. The mangler hasn't put DWs
    up on it yet, but has version 2 of Vaxnotes. This now starts using 
    the mouse to click around the selection, and open windows, even though
    I put notes/nodisplay. Why am I annoyed you say ? well I'd like to use
    my mouse to cut text out of the notes window and in to a command line
    etc. eg copying file specs. Has anyone got any idea how I can convince
    notes that my mouse is to be used with decwindows, not notes ?

By the way, the command to get the TPU interface is now NOTES/NODECWINDOWS
in the later baselevels.
