1011.0. "NEXT_UNSEEN?" by KERNEL::SMITHERSJ (Living on the culinary edge....) Wed Jul 08 1992 15:57

    In GPC, IU uses something unbeknown by me called NEXT_UNSEEN.
    Is this a undocumented symbol?  Also what is it doing because 
    as you can see from the trace below, NEXT_UNSEEN is not 
    getting translated into a value.  In the documentation, 
    NOTES SELECT is meant to set up symbols which map onto the DSAB. 
    
    What's occurring here, chaps?

	GPC is built on top of the VAX Notes callable interface. NOTES SELECT is a function which accepts a single parameter - the id of the note you want to select. NEXT_UNSEEN is a special id which tells GPC to fetch the next unseen note in the conference. Notes maintains an unseen map for each conference (in your notebook) which can be consulted to find out what notes remain unseen. GPC just goes and gets the next unseen note, according to the unseen map. It's exactly the same as hitting keypad comma with the VT interface, or pressing the "Next unseen" button with the MS-Windows client. All call the interface. Tony
