VMS Help CMS, FETCH, Qualifiers, /NONOTES  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Specifies that notes are not to be embedded in the output file.
    If you omit /NONOTES, and the retrieved element has the notes
    attribute, CMS embeds notes in the output file. An element has
    the notes attribute if you specified the /NOTES qualifier on the
    CREATE ELEMENT or MODIFY ELEMENT command.
