Filenote(V1.3, 2.x, 3.x in C:)
NAME
Filenote - Sets a comment for a file.
SYNOPSIS
Filenote [File]filename Comment
DESCRIPTION
You can set a comment for a file of up to 79
characters using this command. You can also remove the
comment for a file using this command by specifying a
null comment string. Comments may be viewed with the
list command.
When you COPY a file, the note does not get copied
with it. When you RENAME a file, the note stays attached
to that file. If you change the file in any way, except
COPYing it, the file note does not get effected. If you
add another filenote to a a file that already has one,
then the old one gets deleted and the new one replaces
it.
If you LIST a directory, these filenotes are
displayed. The notes will appear right below the file
name with a : in front of it. If there is an icon
attached to that file, then you can read or write a note
through that icon's information window.
These filenotes do not effect the file they are
attached to in anyway what so ever.
