I've changed to

def show():
    # called to show one entry and its linked comments based on
    # the entry.id
    # called by TOC in order to provide an entry.id
    #id=request.vars.id
    id = request.args[0]
## <--- changed line
    entries=cynotedb(cynotedb.entry.id==id).select()
    # to prevent showing a 'None' (null) entry
    if not len(entries): redirect(URL(r=request,f='entries'))
    # form to post new comments
    comments=SQLFORM(cynotedb.comment,fields=['author','file','body'])
    # give entry.id for comment output
    comments.vars.entry_id = id;
    # return the comment that is listed with the entry id
    records=cynotedb(cynotedb.comment.entry_id==id)\
            .select(orderby=cynotedb.comment.entry_id)
    # show a flash when comment is posted
    if comments.accepts(request.vars,session):
         response.flash = "comment posted"
    return dict(entry=entries[0],comments=comments,records=records)

It gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\web2py\gluon\restricted.py", line 98, in restricted
    exec ccode in environment
  File "D:/web2py/applications/cynote/controllers/cynote.py", line
131, in <module>
  File "D:\web2py\gluon\globals.py", line 74, in <lambda>
    self._caller = lambda f: f()
  File "D:/web2py/applications/cynote/controllers/cynote.py", line 22,
in show
    id = request.args[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

And "print request.vars.id, request.args" shows "1 []" which is why
there is an IndexError.
