Some further info on various points in his letter: 5: (makefile) I think that this is repaired. The copy he had has about 60 files on the left side of a dependency rule. I have since decided that what I had was wrong anyway, and have modifed it. 10: ( []?* in .nfseq files) Yes, they work. I believe that you can use a shell meta-character from just about anywhere that you would want to. The place that I know you can't is when nesting notesfiles (it doesn't really make sense to do so there). 12: (hardwired erase/kill) pointed out by many people. Several people have sent me the modifications for using the user's settings, and I'll post the updated code later this weekend. 13: (why a new title on E command) The E command is implemented simply by (1) saving the text, (2) delete the old note, and (3) call the note writing routine and have it include the text that was in the old note. Passing the old title around just didn't fit in easily. Ray Essick, University of Illinois uiucdcs!essick
