- Hi Netters:
-
- I just installed VAX NOTES with no apparent problems. But when I started
- playing with it, I found one "gotcha" that I need some help with. YES! I read
- the installation notes again, and the release notes several times - even the
- "Quick Summary" just in case.
-
- When I hit the HELP key (PF2 on VT 100s), I get into the editor (TPU?) ok, but
- get the following unhelpful message at the bottom of the screen:
-
- Parameter 1's data type, INTEGER, unsupported
-
- and no keypad picture. TPU continues to work and I can hit a keypad key and
- get an explanation ok. I can exit the help facility and get back to NOTES
- without difficulty.
-
- I spent hours mucking around in HELP and finally got a picture - so I know the
- capability is hanging around someplace. Suggestions greatly appreciated.
-
- Dave.
