I've always been a fan of jot and have quite a few notes that I've
always managed in jot. In NeXTStep 3.0, jot has vanished from
/usr/bin, but there are the undocumented (as far as I can tell) check
boxes in the Target Inspector Services panel of the Librarian. My
question is how do they work? Can I emulate the old behavior of jot,
i.e. writing a free from note into an automagically numbered file in a
directory of my choosing, which is indexed in Librarian. I tried
experimenting with checking the box and invoking the service from
Edit, but as far as I can see, nothing happened.
