        Yes, but I've looked there and no help.  In fact, I've looked through
        the entire grey wall with no results.  What I'm looking for, I guess,
        is a list of eve and/or tpu functions available for use within the
        NOTES$COMMAND.TPU file.  These would be "builtins" from the viewpoint
        of somebody editing NOTES$COMMAND.TPU, while they might not be builtins
        from the viewpoint of general application eve or tpu programming...

        For example, there is already apparently a slew of variables that
        are VAX Notes specific, undefined by the current, working NOTES$COMMAND
        .TPU file, but used in it (e.g., notes$x_note_pen_name,
        notes$x_notefile_name, notes$x_note_title, notes$x_mail_subject and
        notes$x_notefile_ctx).  There also seem to be eve functions and/or
        variables (eve$x_enable_parser_notes, eve_exit, eve$arg1_examine,
        eve$arg1_buffer and eve$x_highlighting) available, also currently used
        successfully by NOTES$COMMAND.TPU as I currently have it.  So I'm
        looking for just one more, that's all.
