7.1need help hereFORTSC::WILDEwhy am I not yet a dragon?Thu Dec 12 1991 12:126
I hate to admit my ignorance, but I have a problem I cannot solve here.
My notebook entry for cats shows unread topics in the notes directory, but
when I open this conference, my messages says no new notes....Any suggestions?

7.2Hope this helps!WMOIS::BARR_LThey say I'm nicetyThu Dec 12 1991 12:167
    RE: .1
    
    Type SET SEEN/BEFORE=13-NOV-1991 at the NOTES>.
    
    That should do the trick.

    The directory stuff is "just kidding" about unseen notes.  I asked
    someone about it a couple of years ago and got the answer "it's broke,
    ignore it."
    
7.4Delete/add entryMCIS5::CORMIERFri Dec 13 1991 14:203
    I solved the same problem by deleting and re-adding the conference. 
    Since it's relatively short at the moment, it didn't take too long to
    catch up.                
7.6Batch job not workingLEDDEV::UGRINOWWed Jan 22 1992 08:2315
    I've got a "batch" process that extracts new notes overnight for me.
    Since 'feline' switched over it hasn't been extracting any new notes
    for me and I'm not getting any error msg (ie "Incomplete extraction...
    node not reachable", etc).  
    
    These notefiles (about 10) are in a separate 'class=mail'...Are there
    any restrictions on this note that prevents me from accessing during
    'off-hours'??
    
    Any other thoughts?  I've no problem with any other of the notes in my
    'mail' class.
    
    Thanks in anticipation...

7.7AUKLET::MEIERHey, furball, who pays the mortgage here?Wed Jan 22 1992 10:357
Nick,

My guess is that your seen-map hasn't been reset, which needs to be done when
a new version of a conference is created (which was done when it moved). See
notes 6 and 7 for help if you need it.

    7.0 says add hints to note 6, but note 6 is set nowrite.
    
    6.2 says hit kp7 to get the conference for conference listings,
    but this is an unhappiness;  I think perhaps because the real name
    is easyNET_conferences, not easyNOTES_conferences....

    Fixed.

    yep, this is a typo. KP7 is now bound to the correctlu spelled
    conference. I'll fix the text of the note this weekend.

7.10HELP?CAPITN::CANTONI_MIFri May 01 1992 14:308
    I know I've read this somewhere (not sure if it was in FELINE), but I
    can't remember where, so ....
    
    How do I set my personal name in notes?  I looked in help but didn't
    see anything that looked related.  I know it can be done.
    
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    To do this in notes, type:
    
    set profile/personalname="whatever"

    Try it my way Cheryl, it works.  I wouldn't have entered it if it
    didn't work that way.

7.15I'll take a LK keyboard anytime....SANFAN::BALZERMAMon May 04 1992 12:325
    
    What key is the "next unseen" key on the DEC 320pc keyboard?
    
    
    
7.16To explain the behavior you're seeing....BICYCL::RYERMon May 04 1992 12:366
VMS requires the qualifier to be unique within four characters.  Once you've
entered /PERS, it doesn't matter whatever else you enter, VMS doesn't check
it anyway, as evidenced by the fact that SET PROFILE/PERSECUTE="personal name"
works just as well.

    Marlene,
    
    I am not sure which keys would be the "next unseen" key on your
    keyboard, but "n u" will work.  Is this for your laptop?

7.18Karen Fallon Needs HelpMAYES::MERRITTKitty CityThu Feb 11 1993 10:3016
    
    Karen Fallon has called me because she cannot get into the
    new feline file...and she is starting to have withdrawals!!!
    
    I don't claim to be real technical....but I had her follow
    the same directions I used when the file moved...but this
    does not work for her.   I even had her delete the old entry
    and add the new entry under the new node but she receives
    a message stating "remote node unknown".
    
    Could somebody with a bit more technical knowledge contact
    Karen at 223-8833 and try to help her.  She will be
    very grateful!!
    
    Sandy
    
7.19SANDY::FRASERUppity blues woman...Thu Feb 11 1993 10:535
    
    Has she tried 31560::feline?  That may work if her node database is
    local only.
    
    
7.20Make Sure your not Hidden...ALLVAX::ONEILLThu Feb 11 1993 11:2011
    
    	The other thing to check is if Karen has a workstation, sometimes
    	the work station will have a network address that is "Hidden"
    	So the work station can only see the nodes in that cluster.
    	To get around this set host to the main node in the cluster and
    	login.
    
    
    	Good luck
    
    	Mike
7.21DELNI::MANDILEToepick!Thu Feb 11 1993 13:212
    Have her contact her IS department...they might not have
    updated the database to recognize the new node.
7.22A smart uppity blues woman to boot!GAVEL::PLX83::fallonmoonsta's everywhere!Thu Feb 11 1993 14:056
That Uppity Blues Woman sure knew her stuff!!!  I am working with 
teamlinks here on a pc and there are a few bugs running about, so I 
wasn't so sure.  Many thanks to Sandy and Sandy or else I wouldn't be 
here!!  I was starting to panick... the mere frustration... on to the 
notes!!

7.27Topic 4 - for cats looking for homesALLVAX::ONEILLFri Nov 11 1994 13:2819
    
    
    	The note you are looking for is topic 4 - Cats looking for Homes
    
        use the following syntax
    
    	dir 4.800-4.1
    
    	The notes file will provide a directory listing from the most
    	current to the oldest listing for topic 4
    
    	Also there are no kill shelters that the note file here can
    	put you in touch with that have kitties looking for a loving home.
    
    	Let us know how we can help......

7.28A message from a moderatorJULIET::CORDES_JAEight Tigers on my CouchFri Nov 11 1994 16:5931
    There seems to be some concern by some of our FELINErs about entering
    notes in an old topic.  The fear is that the note will not be seen.
    
    Most folks are using "next unseen" to go through and view the notes.
    Any note entered that hasn't yet been seen by the noter will come up 
    on screen as they browse the notesfile using their next unseen key.  
    It doesn't matter which topic it is in.
    
    We have established topics for adoptions and other things.  Please use
    these topics with the knowledge that your note will not get passed over
    just because it is in an old topic.
    
    Please use the keywords set up for this file to find the topics you're
    looking for.  
    
    	SHOW KEY/FULL *ADOPT*  
    
    will bring up the Adoption topic
         
    If you're uncertain if a keyword exists then putting in only a few
    letters of the word with asterisks on either side will give you the 
    widest possible search for the topic.
    
    Or, you can just type
    
    	SHOW KEY/FULL 
    
    and get a complete, alphabetical list of all the keywords with all
    associated topic numbers next to them.
