I investigated this a while back. It turns out that notes uses
something like "csh -c 'cat >> %s'", so if your .cshrc sets
"noclobber" or whatever the variable is, it will not create a file for
output.
Whether or not a modification is made to the sources for the program
(and I do not make any claim here as to whether the behavior is a
bug), the documentation should be updated to be more specific about
the behavior.
