# Warnings!
*THIS FILE IS ONLY FOR LINUX USERS* (prefered distro: Ubuntu 17.10 or higher)

*THIS NOTE SYSTEM WILL ONLY WORK ON BASH SHELL* (default shell for ubuntu, you may find bugs in other shells unless you change the first line of the file.)

*DON'T CHANGE THE SCRIPT* (Only in case you don't have the default editors who are gedit and nano. In that case, you can either change them, or install the default ones.)

*DON'T USE newnote() TO READ NOTES* (Same goes for readnote() for writing new ones.)

*DON'T JUDGE ME* (This is my first shell script.)
*HAVE FUN WITH SHELLNOTES!!!*
