What were you trying to do?
	Use 'S' to save a note to a file.

What's wrong:
	If the specified file does not exist, notes doesn't create it.
	In fact, there is no way to get notes to create the file --
	you have to exit, create an empty file with that name, and
	then go back into notes and append to the empty file.
	
What should have happened:
	When you specify a non-existent save file, notes should ask
	you if you want to create it, and should create it if you say
	yes.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	notes(1).
