+@SYNTAX:note@
+
+NOTE is a sort of turbo-charged messaging system for irc. In short, 
+it achieves at the server level what the client attempts to do with MSG 
+and NOTIFY. The messaging system resembles modern voicemail systems 
+(except in text); messages can be sent, stored, or set for deferred 
+delivery. The client notification system works like NOTIFY, except with
+greater accuracy and flexibility. 
+
+The most common uses of NOTE are its SPY and SEND functions. SPY is similar 
+to NOTIFY, except it can accept a full address to spy on, not just a nickname. 
+SEND, as its name implies, sends a note to a user; if that user is not currently 
+online, it will be delivered if the user logs onto irc within a set time period. 
+
+When referring to a particular user, NOTE can deal with the standard 
+nick!user@host notation. Wildcards are allowed, and any portion may be omitted, 
+so long as the identifier remains unambiguous. 
+
+Examples: 
+To send a note to Joebob (whose account is jbriggs@drivein.com): 
+/NOTE SEND joebob!jbriggs@drivein.com Hey there! Great movie! 
+
+To spy on anyone from blah.com for the next 30 days: 
+/NOTE SPY +30 *!*@*.blah.com A blah.com user is active 
+ 
+This command is Not available in the IRCNet.
