		+	Notes are the MUD's in-game messages, which you can read and send while playing the game.
		+
		+	==Reading Notes==
		+
		+	There are two ways to look at notes: scan the new ones until you've seen
		+	them all, or pick the one you want to see.
		+
		+	Method #1: If you intend to read all of the unread notes, NOTE SCAN will
		+	scan through all message boards and display the first unread note it finds.
		+	This is the preferred way if you normally read notes.
		+
		+	Method #2: If you'd like to read a certain note, first find it using
		+	NOTE LIST. Switch to the board the note is in, then type "note list".
		+	Remember the number of the note, then type "note read ####", where ####
		+	is the number of the note.
		+
		+	Example:
		+	:::board 2
		+	:::note list
		+	:::note read 10
		+
		+	Again, if you normally read all new notes, NOTE SCAN is easier to use.
		+
		+	==Posting Notes==
		+
		+	How to post a note - an example.
		+
		+	Posting a note is easier than the help on notes leads you to believe.
		+	There are a few things to remember when posting: who it goes to, what it
		+	is about, and what message board it should be on.
		+	First, select the proper note board - ie, 1 for a general note, 5 for a
		+	bug report, and so on. See "boards" for help on selecting the board.
		+	Next, who will this go to? Type "note to", and then a list of names to
		+	receive the note. A short subject line goes after "note subject".
		+	Add lines one-by-one; type "note +", followed by a single line of text.
		+	If you mess up a line, delete it by typing "note -".
		+
		+	Need an example? I do! This message will be posted on the general board
		+	(board #1), It will go to all heroes and to Caveman. This is just what the
		+	writer of the note typed, everything else has been cut out... he's in a
		+	quiet room!
		+
		+	Example:
		+	:::board 1
		+	:::note to hero caveman
		+	:::note subject Thanks for the help!
		+	:::note + I wanted to say thanks to the heroes and to Caveman for helping
		+	:::note + me retrieve my corpse after my 10th death yesterday. Tmaks alot!
		+	:::note -
		+	:::note + me retrieve my corpse after my 10th death yesterday. Thanks a lot!
		+	:::note submit
		+
		+	Oops, did he type that line twice? Nope, he retyped it... the writer messed up the end of the second line ("tmaks alot"), so he deleted it ("note -") and retyped. Don't forget that you can type "note show" to see what your note looks like so far.
		+
		+	N.B.: Lines in a note are limited to 80 characters. Notes are limited to 30 lines.
		+
		+
		+	==Who to send notes to==
		+
		+	Notes don't have to go to a single specific player, or a specific list
		+	of players - instead, some "aliases" exist to make things a little easier.
		+
		+	Here they are:
		+
		+	{\| align=center \|
		+	! align=left width=60 \|All
		+	\|\|All players, from level 3 lowmort and up
		+	\|-
		+	! align=left \|Hero
		+	\|\|Hero tier players and above only
		+	\|-
		+	! align=left \|Lord
		+	\|\|Lord tier players and above only
		+	\|-
		+	! align=left \|Angel
		+	\|\|Angels and above only
		+	\|-
		+	! align=left \|Immortal
		+	\|\|Immortals level 820 and up only
		+	\|-
		+	! align=left \|Senior
		+	\|\|Immortals level 900 and up only
		+	\|-
		+	! align=left \|Exec
		+	\|\|Exec staff - see wizlist
		+	\|}
		+
		+	When you set NOTE TO for a note, you can use a mixed list of names and aliases for the note to go to.
		+
		+	Example:
		+	:::note to bob fred immortal angel
		+
		+	==Note Commands==
		+
		+	{\| align=center \|
		+	! align=left \| Command:
		+	! align=left \| Description:
		+	\|-

		+
		+	==Boards==
		+
		+	The boards are different "threads" or "spools" of note lists.<br>
		+	Use the notes commands within each board to read and manipulate messages.
		+
		+	You can change the active board simply by typing board, followed by the number of the board.<br>
		+	To see a list of the boards available, simply type 'board'.
		+
