I found the simplest way out of this problem was to spend $A60 on a small dedicated note taker. The gadget is great, 4 inches long, 1 inch wide and a half inch in thickness. Easily carried in your handbag, pocket, you name it. Unobtrusive, if the situation arises and you need to record an urgent thought.

But I still can't write notes on the blasted thing. I forget right this minute what the command for creating a note is, but I remember following the instructtions while reading the manual, but then when I tried to write within what I thought was a created note file, nothing happened.
