    Not in the current version (V2.0).

    While we're  dreaming, is there any way to tell the Builtin editor
    to  WRAP  at the window width? With the current performance, I get
    several  words ahead, notice that I need to wrap, and have to wait
    a least 45 seconds before everything is enough under control again
    to step back and insert the line break by hand.

No.  Since it doesn't really wrap (it only appears to) we chose to go with the
current behavior so that all notes did not end up being 1 line long.

 How can I do a reply in DECwindows notes and incorporate the text
 from a previous note, like I can do with standard notes by typing
 REPLY?

 (Extracting the note and then reading it in is a poor substitute)

	Cheers

     Select the text in the existing note that you want to quote
     (either use the mouse to select a part of it, or the Edit
     menu's "Select ALL" item to select all of it), then click
     MB3 in the window where you are composing your reply to copy
     the selection to there.

    What? It  doesn't  even APPEAR to wrap for me. It scrolls to track
    the  point,  blinking  with a refresh at each character insertion,
    and  when it catches up to me, it sits there and winks (refreshing
    again,  why,  I do not know) at me for about ten times, then I can
    resume doing work.

    I've moved  back  to  CCT-based Notes in the interim. This one bug
    alone is maddening enough to run me off.

I believe he was referring to an undocumented Xdefaults hack which
made things *look* like the lines were being wrapped correctly but,
in fact, were not.

 That would work, but it won't give you this banner, that the editor does:

>       <<< Note 687.5 by AITG::DERAMO "Daniel V. {AITG,ZFC}:: D'Eramo" >>>

	re .8 (missing "banner")

	Yes; I wish they would make it possible to select that "header"
	information along with the text, so that you could copy it, too.

	You could always type the "<<< Note  by  >>>" yourself and then
	quick copy the note number and the author&personal_name from the
	read window.  That's how I enteered:

	<<< Note 687.8 by MARVIN::COCKBURN "Craig, PhaseV & FCNS" >>>

Is it possible to add the LK201's "Enter" key to the pop-up menu you get
when reading a note?

Specifically, it would be useful to have a rapid way of moving:

go-to-the-next-reply-if-there-is-one-else-go-to-next-unseen

Jeff

	If the read window has the input focus, then most of the
	keypad keys already work.

I suggest taking any more NOTES questions to the CLT::VAXNOTES_BUGS
conference.

    re .7
    
    Mail was able to work around this.  The notes people should steal their
    code.
