If you're going to write-lock a note, at least read the whole thing! Were you on a power trip, or what? Anyway, I have heard another user complain about the inconsistent NOTES startup state. I don't know whether there is a VAXNOTES product notes file, but there probably is one. I also don't know how NOTES determines whether it should try to run in DECwindows mode. Can anyone shed some light on this? -steve-

I found that from FileView, I had to use the command
"Notes/display=decwindows" to get it to come up with the DECwindows
interface. From DECterm, this wasn't necessary.
I heard an explanation of why this happens, but promptly forgot
it!

RE: .-1 The SDC version of notes uses the /DECWINDOWS qualifier. /DISPLAY= was from FT. If you use /DECWINDOWS, it always tries to come up in DECWindows mode. If you don't, it tries to figure out if it can or not. I'm not sure how it decides (Probably checks DISPLAY). | |||||

The VAX NOTES product conference is CLT::VAXNOTES_BUGS. Supposedly, and this is consistent with my experience, NOTES comes up in DECwindows mode if DECW$DISPLAY is defined. Steve P.S. Wouldn't complaints to the moderators be more appropriately sent by MAIL? | |||||

FileView does not always properly initialize a subprocess if a DCL verb is used directly (rather than invoking a command procedure) in the FileView verb definition. The behavior described is this problem. The workaround is to invoke VAX Notes, or most other utilities from a command procedure. | |||||
