Another method that I use extensively from home (where I am cursed
with a 300 baud modem) is to use ^O to flush the output.  This has
the added advantage that you can skip a screenload of a multiple
page note.  'j' takes you to the next note, which isn't always what
you want.

The only time I EVER see the `menu' (index page?) is when I want to
search for author/title, or see how many notes are in the group.

What is this 'menu' you refer to?  Is it possible you have a local
front end to notes?  If so, you ought to be able to do an endrun
around it somehow.
