Before continuing with information about the DECUServe demo, I'd like to introduce some of the most useful commands to VAX Notes: The "Enter" key on the keypad is probably the most useful key in VAX Notes. By repeatedly pressing the "Enter" key, VAX Notes will take you through an entire conference, executing the appropriate "Next Screen," "Next Note," or "Next Unseen" command depending on the conference. As you read notes in a conference, VAX Notes marks them "seen." You can adjust the "seen map" at will to mark all notes before a certain date as seen. New conferences have an empty seen map in your notebook, allowing you to read the entire conference. If you would like to read only the last few days of notes in one of these demo conferences, after opening the conference, type "SET SEEN /BEFORE=somedate" at the prompt. For somedate, use a VMS date like 1-APR-1991. The SET SEEN command affects only the current conference. Although reading through an entire conference by repeatedly pressing "Enter" is very easy, when the first screen of a note is displayed, you may decide that you don't wish to read the rest of the note. You have several options: 1. "Keypad 3" is the "NEXT NOTE" command. It will display the next note in the current topic. 2. "Keypad comma" is the "NEXT UNSEEN" command. It marks the remainder of the notes in the topic as "seen" and proceeds to the next unseen note in some other topic. 3. "Keypad 2" is the "NEXT TOPIC" command. It moves to the first note in the next higher numbered topic, without marking unread notes as seen. Press "Enter" for more information about the DECUServe demo.
