I did that, and set it to $HOME/Notes.
However, when I start vim I get all these error messages on the
screen:
Error detected while processing /home/garyjohn/.vim/plugin/notes.vim:
line 97:

I think the problem may be that you zipped those files with DOS line
endings and that makes vim on Linux unhappy.
$ file plugin/notes.vim autoload/notes.vim
plugin/notes.vim: ASCII English text, with CRLF line terminators
autoload/notes.vim: ASCII English text, with CRLF line terminators
I fixed that using dos2unix. No more errors, but I do get this
message:
notes: You need a newer version of genutils.vim plugin
OK. I have version 1.18.3. I downloaded and installed the latest,
2.4. Now I get:
Notes: Configured root doesn't exist or is not a directory:$HOME/Notes
OK. Executed "mkdir ~/Notes". Started vim again. Same error.
Changed g:notesRoot to "~/Notes". Similar error:
Notes: Configured root doesn't exist or is not a directory:~/Notes
Changed g:notesRoot to full path name, "/home/garyjohn/Notes". No
more messgaes. I think this is a bug, or at least a shortcoming:
the user should be able to specify ~ or $HOME without having to
expand it himself.
I haven't used it very much yet, but it looks great so far. One
thing that I think might be a good enhancement: use :startinsert to
open new notes files in insert mode rather than making the user type
a or i first.
Thanks for doing this.
Regards,
Gary
