I have some negative comments on notes to present.

Operation:

	It seems that I spend an awful lot of time in notes just
watching things on my screen that I don't want to see.  Seeing the
notes menu is kindof nice; after all with readnews you see the titles
of all articles also, just not all at once.  But I don't like having
to go through the menu every time I want to do something.  I'd
like to be able to to examine it, and present the program with a list
of the article numbers that I want to see.  For multiple menu pages,
it would not be a problem to go back from the last selected article
to the next menu page, just as long as I don't have to see that &#^@$
same page again.  I would like an option to step to the next note
withOUT going back to the menu automatically if I happen to step
past the last one (boy that is irritating).  I'd like to have a
way NOT to have to see an entire page of an article that I'm not sure
I want to see; I can't now abort after the first couple of lines and
skip to the next, I have to sit and wait while the article comes out.
I'd like a way to sit at a blank screen so that I can jump to another
notesfile and when I come back, not have to watch that blamed menu
come out again.  In general, the video interface is nice, if it didn't
act like a 3270 (whole screen or nothing).

Functionality:

	Readnews with its .newsrc was nice, because I could subscribe
to "*" and automagically get every newsgroup whether I knew it existed
or not.  That combined with Unsubscribe is something I really miss.
I also miss not being able to tag individual articles as not having
been seen.
