1632.0. "Starting Notes V2.0 from Session Manager " by MUTTON::LAMB (Peter Lamb - FSG Santa Clara) Thu Oct 26 1989 14:57

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how to start notes from the new session
manager applications pull down in 5.3.   Everything I have tried 
$NOTES, MC NOTES etc just doesn't do anything and I have not been able
to figure out how to get a task status box similiar to VUE to figure out
what is happening.

Essentually though it just never starts...

Any ideas?

Also note: when I start notes from VUE it does work but I get a... 


X Toolkit Warning: Widget class Svn version mismatch:
  widget 7001 vs. intrinsics 11003
X error event received from server:  BadMatch - parameter mismatch
  Failed request major op code 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
  Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
  ResourceID 0x600014 in failed request (if applicable)
  Serial number of failed request 1796
  Current serial number in output stream 1797
%XLIB-E-ERROREVENT, error event received from server

I realize this is more of a notes thing and I will search that 
conference but just thought I should post it here so that people considering
going to 5.3 will know about it.    

I did a DIR/TITLE=NOTES and didn't find anything.

Regards,

Peter

1632.1Did you try NOTES/DECWINDOWS (/DECWINDOWS to use DECw interface)JAC::COFFLERHave you hugged your dog today?Thu Oct 26 1989 15:2311
I don't have DECwindows V2 to try it on, but did you try:

$ NOTES/DECWINDOWS

That's what I do on DECwindows V1 to start DECwindows Notes, and it works
just fine ...

	Good luck,

1632.3that did it - thanks!MUTTON::LAMBPeter Lamb - FSG Santa ClaraThu Oct 26 1989 15:468
NOTES/DECWINDOWS in the CUSTOMIZE APPLICATIONS MENU in the Session manager
seemed to do the trick...(VMS 5.3)

It is odd that there doesn't seem to be any way to get an output popup.

I guess in this case its sort of better though so you don't get the 
mismatch error with notes.

Not odd at all.  The Session Manager doesn't have Task Output windows the way
that FileView does.
