This is a nice method. I'm already putting it to use. I've learned about /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin so I went ahead and created $HOME/bin and added it to my path for this sort of code. Now, I was thinking more of a notes+code program. Let me give you an example: I use Emacs.app (Emacs compiled with --with-ns) and in order to get a meta key in the Spanish keyboard on my Mac I had to try different lines but I didn't want to keep all these tries in my .emacs file. I also wanted to keep the lines that didn't work for later tests in my Free BSD PC (also with a Spanish keyboard). So I keep all of them in my notebook. Then, I start coding Python. This time I try to translate an old PHP script to Python and want to keep a few important lines visible. It'll be nice to take some notes of the main differences in my scripts in a different place. Like a student's notebook. Once again, all this goes to my little program. Then, I remember I had to run some Mac maintenance commands... I don't remember the complete line very well, so I go to my notebook. My point is that sometimes not every note is useful for a program. I guess as I gain experience all these little notes will be kept in my mind ;). But as a newbie it seems useful. As r said, I think it'll be good to write this program. If it doesn't result in a very useful piece, it'll be a good way to practice. I forgot to mention I don't use a notes program to keep personal and programming notes separately. Thanks mate! P.S.: Man I hope my English doesn't suck too much. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
