    I wasn't sure where to ask this question......
    
    Can someone tell me why, when I enter this conference, I always
    get the message "No more new notes"?  I have my profile set
    up to automatically call up the next unseen message.  The last
    time I opened this file was yesterday, and *I know* that there
    were notes written today.  Can anyone help out with this?
    Thanks.

|     Well, try typing:
    
    SET SEEN/BEFORE=TODAY
    
    That should mark as UNseen everthing after midnight.  Or you
    could use the time of the last message you're sure you saw:
    
    SET SEEN/BEFORE=26-SEP-1988:12:54

    Thanks for the reply, Ann.  Someone sent me mail with the
    same suggestion and.....it worked!

    I have a question along these lines too! 
    
    I am running DECwindows, and have found that if I change which
    terminal emulator I read notes from, I will see again notes which
    I have previously seen.  How does notes check for seen?
    
    Thanks,

    NOTES periodically updates your list of unseen notes while
    you are reading, but only does it once every ten notes or so,
    or when you close the conference.  If in one session you have
    read some notes, don't close the conference, start another
    session and reopen the conference, you will be inheriting a
    somewhat "stale" list of unseen notes.
    
    You could avoid this by closing (exiting) the conference in
    the first session before starting in the second.  Or you could
    just accept it.
    
    One of the introductory notes to this conference contains additional
    NOTES tips (I'll look it up and set the title of this note
    accordingly.)  I generally encourage noters who have problems using
    NOTES to send mail to a moderator rather than writing in the
    conference.
