Invoking NOTES without commandline arguments displays the current contents of the local NOTES.TXT if it exists. If NOTES has arguments, the current date and time are appended to the local NOTES.TXT followed by a newline. Then all the arguments, joined with spaces, prepended with a tab, and appended with a trailing newline, are written to NOTES.TXT. If NOTES.TXT doesn't already exist in the current directory then a new NOTES.TXT file should be created.

Forth
The following is SwiftForth-specific, and runs in the Forth environment rather than as a standalone terminal application. Win32Forth only needs simple replacements of DATE and TIME . A Unix Forth would come closer to the 'commandline' requirement, as Windows Forths for whatever reason very eagerly discard the Windows console. Because this runs in the Forth environment, the otherwise acceptable application words are stuffed in a wordlist. Standard Forth doesn't have the notion of create-it-if-it-doesn't-exist, so OPEN just tries again with CREATE-FILE if OPEN-FILE fails.
