#R:sri-unix:1000024:uiucdcs:23300021:004:1058 uiucdcs!essick Nov 17 11:23:00 1982 When you have read the last new note/response in a notesfile, he is presented with the index page again. At that point, unless he wants to read more of that notesfile, he should type "k" or "q" (or "K"/"Q" if you don't want sequencer info for that notesfile updated) and proceed to the next notesfile. If you type another "j"/"J" instead of leaving that notesfile, you will loop through again. This is because the effect of the j/J keys are to from the index page: skip to the first new text in the notesfile. or from a note/response: skip to the next new text in the notesfile. Where "new" is defined as "more recent than the timestamp that was read from your sequencing information file". This defaults to Jan 1, 1970 if the sequencer is not turned on. The net result is that if all you do is sit on the "j" key, you'll loop through that notesfile forever. Occasional use of the "k" key when finished with a notesfile is required. --Ray Essick, U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign p.s. This is the same regardless of the size of the notesfile.
