The code inside of the notes proram does not do any blanking
in this case. Maybe the paging program that is called to print the
list of available notesfiles (defaults to /usr/ucb/more) has been
changed on your machine?
The code that prints the messages looks like:
printf("Usage: %s [-isxn] [blah blah]", argv[0]);
dounix(PAGER, "/usr/spool/notes/.utilities/avail.notes");
There is no screen clearing in the code.
Since notes looks at the "PAGER" environment variable, if a user has
defined a pager which clears the screen to start, this is what happened.
