   This is 'one-file' quick note alike script, it stores messages in itself.
   Why? Mystery. No, its comfy, easy to use and you can have plenty of them
   in your 'C:' or wherever you like, without the mess with data files.



    Me wants one!
   \//\//\//\//
    /  /  /  /

   Cool! Do exactly these('mynotes' can be something of your choice):

   > cd mshn-0.3/
   > copy mshn.rexx c:mynotes
   > protect c:mynotes +s

   Make sure your ARexx is fully operational and check if 'rx' is in path!

    

    Erm? What do i do?
   \//\//\//\//\//

   It allows to easliy smoke pot, .. i mean to store the messages as i said before :) 

   Check it out, open cli and try to:

   "
   26.[local]RamDisk:> mynotes add i need to put this note in here in case i forgot that i have putten it already!
    /// performing add ...
    /// added your message successfully.
   26.[local]RamDisk:> mynotes
    /// showing messages ...
    ### 0001. i need to put this note in here in case i forgot that i have putten it already! 
   26.[local]RamDisk:>
   "



    Awesome, and what about the options?
   \//\//\//\//\//\//\//\//\//\// 
    /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  

   This is what it currently can do for you:

   "
   26.[local]RamDisk:> mynotes help
    *** template: sys:c/mynotes [command] [<string/number/pattern/...>]

        help            =  --help, -h, ?
        add  <string>   -  add new message
        del  [number]   -  show deleted/delete message
        udel <number>   -  undelete the message
        find <pattern>  -  find message(s)
        fdel <pattern>  -  search in deleted messages        
        exp  <file>     -  export message segment somewhere else
                           (exporting from this db to itself = [in]finite loop ;))
   26.[local]RamDisk:> 
   "



    How the hell it works, any tips?

   28-Dec-2007   0.1   first version
   28-Dec-2007   0.2   it turned out that 'display' and 'find' are too slow,
                       so i made some changes and now they are speed freak,
                       plus fixed some other minor issues.
   29-Dec-2007   0.3   this version adds support for ARexx comments, they were causing
                       problems, added 'fdel' option and did some optimizations.
