88.0. "notes file" by CINEMX::PATTENDEN (BARBARA PATTENDEN DTN 276-9713) Tue Nov 08 1988 15:00

    I have very little knowledge about the tools that are available
    through NOTES.  During the times that there is a slow system response
    time, is there a way to create a file and then pull it into NOTES.
    
    I believe I have heard of it being done, but I'm not sure.

	RE: < Note 88.0 by CINEMX::PATTENDEN "BARBARA PATTENDEN DTN 276-9713" > -< notes file >- Barbara, Judy Marino has addressed this in Note 59.3. Basically, you create the note on your system (through whatever editor) and then use the file as input to the WRITE or REPLY notes command: NOTES> WRITE mytextfile.txt or REPLY mytextfile.txt NOTES will bring your file ('mytextfile.txt') into the note, and you can edit it (unless you include the /NOEDIT option to write\|reply) and give it a title. If you are using Notes from the ORCHRD node and not your own system, the next question will be: "how do I get the file over to be input?". Two ways: - on ORCHRD in the Notes utility - NOTES> WRITE mynode"myaccount mypassword"::mytextfile.txt This one step will bring your file over the network to ORCHRD and input it in Notes (you may get the same slowness, tho) - on your node - $ SPOOL COPY mytextfile.txt ORCHRD"myaccount mypassword":: then, on ORCHRD in the Notes utility - NOTES> WRITE mytextfile.txt This two step process will take 'advantage' of the slowness. SPOOL calls the FTSV utility which will place your copy request into a batch queue, and let the system do the dirty work of waiting for the file to get over to the remote node; meanwhile, you can be signing on to the remote node (ORCHRD). It'll probably be there by the time you get into NOTES. Did I help, or make it more complicated? /ken

	 Barbara,

	    Judy Marino has addressed this in Note 59.3.  Basically,
	 you create the note on your system (through whatever editor)
	 and then use the file as input to the WRITE or REPLY notes
	 command:

	         NOTES>  WRITE mytextfile.txt


	          or     REPLY mytextfile.txt


	    NOTES will bring your file ('mytextfile.txt') into the
	 note, and you can edit it (unless you include the /NOEDIT
	 option to write|reply) and give it a title.

	    If you are using Notes from the ORCHRD node and not your
	 own system, the next question will be:  "how do I get the file
	 over to be input?".     Two ways:

		- on ORCHRD in the Notes utility -

	            NOTES>  WRITE mynode"myaccount mypassword"::mytextfile.txt

	          This one step will bring your file over the network
		  to ORCHRD and input it in Notes (you may get the same
		  slowness, tho)

	       -  on your node -

		    $ SPOOL COPY mytextfile.txt ORCHRD"myaccount mypassword"::

	          then, on ORCHRD in the Notes utility -

	            NOTES>  WRITE mytextfile.txt

	          This two step process will take 'advantage' of the
		  slowness.   SPOOL calls the FTSV utility which will
		  place your copy request into a batch queue, and let the
		  system do the dirty work of waiting for the file to get over
		  to the remote node;  meanwhile, you can be signing on to the
		  remote node (ORCHRD).  It'll probably be there by the time
		  you get into NOTES.
