	Boy am I embarassed. 

	The people are SRI are doing things right. The notes code
is in error. And after I had publicly babbled about not using the
commands correctly. *Blush*.
	The problem is with seeking and forgetting to case 
various values.  I did all of the later development on a Vax
and thus missed a lot of things that are declared "int" and
should have been "long".  On the 11's, "int" is 16 bits, the
Vax has them 32.
	Some of my address calculations are of the form:

	long = int + int * int;

which on the 11 comes out as:

	long = short + short*short;

the cast to long does not come until too late to save me. After a
number of notes in a notesfile, things begin to wrap.  *Yech*.
	I'm working on getting this fixed and should have some results
soon.  The errors are not likely to manifest themselves unless you have
(1) a PDP-11 and (2) very large notesfiles. I'll post the changes
as I finish them.
