1.1     ! root        1: .se "Checking for New Notes"
        !             2: 
        !             3:        The checknotes program
        !             4: checks the notesfiles specified by the NFSEQ environment 
        !             5: variable to determine if there are new notes.
        !             6: The exit code is arranged to make the program useful in shell scripts:
        !             7: 0 (TRUE) is there are new notes, 1 (FALSE) otherwise.
        !             8: 
        !             9:        Use the ``-q'' option to receive a message
        !            10: 
        !            11:                There are new notes
        !            12: 
        !            13: if one or more of the notesfiles have notes/responses written since
        !            14: the user's last entry time into that notesfile.
        !            15: 
        !            16:        The ``-n'' option is similar to the ``-q'' option, with the exception
        !            17: that it yields output when there are no new notes. The output
        !            18: of checknotes with the ``-n'' option is:
        !            19: 
        !            20:                There are no new notes
        !            21: 
        !            22:        Use ``-v'' to print the name of each notesfile with new 
        !            23: notes/responses.
        !            24: The ``-s'' option is suitable for use in conditional
        !            25: expressions in shell scripts; no output is generated by this option.
        !            26:
