Yellow?!? :-) I do the same, but I also use a short perl script to accept mouse cut+paste blocks to a file; it date stamps each entry. Just type "things.pl", highlight some text somewhere, paste it in with the mouse, and finish with CTRL-D: ------------- snip ------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w # # ~/devl/perl/things.pl replaces ~/sh/things.sh; datestamps # and separates entries. # # 13Apr2002 s. keeling 0001 replace things.sh # use strict; my ( $outfile, $now ); chomp( $now = qx(date) ); $outfile = qq($ENV{HOME}/dox/things_to_remember.txt); open( THINGS, ">> $outfile" ) || die qq($0: could not open $outfile for append: $!); print THINGS "\n\n" . q( --------------------- ) . $now . "\n\n"; while( <STDIN> ) { print THINGS; } close( THINGS ); ------------- snip ------------------------- -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
