859.0. "DECwindows NOTES tree/text startup option" by MARVIN::COCKBURN (Craig, PhaseV & FCNS) Wed May 31 1989 10:26

How can I get DECwindows notes to startup in the TREE format rather than the
TEXTUAL format as default? Is there an option to specify this setup anywhere?

While I'm at it, I'd like to define the coordinates of the notes window and
icon at startup - can this be done?

Cheers,
	Craig.

	I don't think it can be customized to come up in TREE format.
	I position the windows with the following in NOTES$DEFAULTS.DAT

Notes*MAIN_SHELL.x:	3
Notes*MAIN_SHELL.y:	471
Notes*CONF_SHELL.x:	369
Notes*CONF_SHELL.y:	471
Notes*READ_SHELL.x:	3

    $ HELP NOTES
    


  Additional information available:

  Software_Licenses     Release_Notes         Parameters Command_Description   Qualifiers
  /AUTOMATIC[={DIRECTORY|UNSEEN}] (default)   /NOAUTOMATIC          /CLASS=class-name     /CLASS=default-class (default)
  /DECWINDOWS           /NODECWINDOWS         /NOTEBOOK (default)   /NONOTEBOOK           /UPDATE    /NOUPDATE (default)
  Examples
    
    "/NODECWINDOWS" looks like a good bet...
859.4Thanks, but no such info is available on 5.2.WOODRO::EARLYBob Early CSS/NSG Dtn 264-6252Wed Nov 22 1989 08:3412
    re: 859.3
    
    Thanks, HOWEVER, under VMS 5.2 , typing HELP NOTES (as you've
    graciously indicated) does not yield even remotely similiar results.
    
    Basically, VMS HElp does not support NOTES.
    
    However, i did locate a notes release_notes file, which contains
    similar information.

Baloney.  If VAX NOTES has been installed properly on the system, then
DCL help will give exactly what .3 showed you.  If it doesn't, it means
something on your system isn't installed correctly.

    I assume that your system manager upgraded to an intermediate version
    of VMS recently that wiped out the old VMSHELP libraries.
