- Tom Pfau - Digital Equipment Corporation, Parsippany, NJ
-
- This program appends the text of the command line to a notebook file
- specified by the NOTEBOOK environment variable.
-
- To use, do the following:
-
- E>SET NOTEBOOK=E:\TEXT\NOTEBOOK.DAT
-
- Then, to add to the notebook, type:
-
- E>NOTE This text will be appended to the file
-
- You may optionally timestamp a message or have the program prompt for the
- text to be appended.
-
- Command format:
- NOTE [-s] [-p] [text]
- -s Record time of entry
- -p Prompt for text
-
- If -p isn't specified and no text appears on the command line, Note will
- display help information.
-
- In prompt mode, multiple lines of text can be entered for a single note.
- The note will be delimited by start and end note markers. If text
- appears after -p, that text will be written after the start note marker.
-
- Examples:
-
- If you type: NOTE add this text
- Notebook contains: add this text

- If you type: NOTE -s add this text
- Notebook contains: 01-06-87 20:09:55 | add this text
