- FILENOTE attaches an optional comment of up to 79 characters to the specified
- file or to all files matching the given pattern.
-
- If the <comment> includes spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotation
- marks. To include double quotation marks in a filenote, each literal
- quotation mark must be immediately preceded by an asterisk (*) and the entire
- comment must be enclosed in quotation marks, regardless of whether the
- commend contains any spaces.
-
- If the <comment> argument is omitted, any existing filenote is deleted from
- the named file.
-
- Creating a comment with FILENOTE is the same as entering a comment into the
- Comment gadget of an icon's Information window. Changes made with FILENOTE
- are reflected in the Information window, and vice versa.
-
- Use the LIST command to view comments made with FILENOTE. If a file has
- comments, LIST displays them below the file name.
-
- When a existing file is copied to (specified as the TO argument of a COPY
- command), it is overwritten, but its original comment is retained. Any
- comment attached to a FROM file is not copied unless the CLONE or COM option
- of COPY is specified.
-
- If the ALL option is given, FILENOTE adds the <comment> to all the files and
- subdirectories matching the pattern entered. If the QUIET options is given,
- screen output is suppressed.
-
