EditNote
========

Attach a note to any type of item, or edit an already existing note.
This feature is useful if you do not have enough space to store all
of your item description, or if you would like to add sub-tasks to an
already existing todo item for example.
Before pressing the 'n' key, you first need to highlight the item you
want the note to be attached to. Then you will be driven to an
external editor to edit your note. This editor is chosen the following
way:
     o if the 'VISUAL' environment variable is set, then this will be
       the default editor to be called.
     o if 'VISUAL' is not set, then the 'EDITOR' environment variable
       will be used as the default editor.
     o if none of the above environment variables is set, then
       '/usr/bin/vi' will be used.

Once the item note is edited and saved, quit your favorite editor.
You will then go back to Calcurse, and the '>' sign will appear in front
of the highlighted item, meaning there is a note attached to it.
