Adding a Note to an existing discussion may involve two aspects:

1. defining the 'Reply' links to existing notes, if any
   (see section 4.9.3 for details);
2. creating the note's content.

To add a note that does not reply to any existing note,

• click  File    New    Add Note   when reading the notes of a discussion,

or

• click  Add Note   for the discussion's entry in the folder page that contains the discussion

to bring up the 'Add Note' form. In this form

• choose the type of contribution (see section 4.9) most appropriate for the message of the note you create -- the corresponding icon will later be displayed right of the name of the note;
• write the text of the article into the 'Message' field. HTML tags following a <P> tag in the text of an article will be interpreted by browsers displaying the article;
• enter the gist of your contribution in the 'Subject' field.

As its author you may modify a note, even after replies have been submitted:

• Click  Edit Note   to bring up the 'Edit note' form that lets you choose another type and edit the note's name (subject) and message.
