Notes

---

      notes = name of notes file. in
          File format: Slide id lines must start in column 1,
          and may contain any number of ids (like Rigel, Beta Ori, ...),
          where ids are delimited by commas.
          Note lines must be indented and there may be any number of such lines.
          Notes continue until next id line. Comments may occur anywhere and
          are designated by a * in column 1.
          Example notes file:
          *----- catagory xxx ------------
          id_a_1, [id_a_2, id_a_3, ...]
            notes line 1
            notes line 2
            . . .
          id_b_1, [id_b_2, id_b_3, ...]
            . . .
      slides = name of slides file. in
          File format: Each line has slide number, space(s),
          slide id. Slide id is the slide name as listed in the notes file.
          Slides file may contain comments. Comments have * in column 1 and
          are passed directly into the lecture file unless /NOCOMMENTS are used.
          Slide numbers are also passed into the lecture file unless /NONUMBERS
          is used. Use /one for one line listing for individual slides.
          Example slides file:
          1 id_a_1, id_a_2, id_a_3
          2 id_b_1 /one
          . . .
      lect = name of resulting lecture file. in
          Same format as notes file. Order of notes is that given in the slides file.
          Must use /NONUMBERS keyword to get format identical to notes file.
      Notes: Missing parameters are prompted for.
        Notes file may be re-arranged by creating a slides file with the
        desired order. Use the keyword /NONUMBERS to suppress the output of slide numbers.
        The resulting lecture file is then the re-arranged notes file.
