How to Use a Generic Note

Generic Notes are objects that contain text.  Like a real note, you can read it, write on it, and erase it.  It is a good object for presenting some text; however, it is not initially formatted for HTML.

Adds a line of text to the named note or letter.  Only the owner of a note may do this.

delete <line-number> from <note>
Removes a single line of text from a note.  The first line of text is numbered 1, the second is 2, and so on.  Only the owner of a note may do this. To see the different lines of text, type 'read <note>'.

encrypt <note> with <key-expression>
Restricts the set of players who can read the named note or letter to those for whom the given key expression is true.  See 'help keys' for information on the Type and semantics of key expressions, or look at the help text for a Generic Letter.  Only the owner of a note may do this.
