EXAMPLES

       Add a new note:
              memo -a "Remember to buy milk!"

       Add a new note with custom date:
              memo -a "File taxes" 2014-10-14

       Search memos by string:
              memo -f buy

       Output:
              4    2014-10-10    Remember to buy milk

       Replace record 4 with new text:
              memo -r 4 "Remember to buy cheese"

       Add note from stdin:
              echo "My new note" | memo -

       Mark note as postponed:
              memo -P 4

       Show postponed notes:
              memo -P

       Postponed notes are not shown by default. Postponed note can be marked as undone or done  normally  using
       -m or -M flag.  Only undone notes can be postponed.

       It's  possible  to  change  the  location  (and  name)  of  the  .memo  file.  Create  $HOME/.memorc  (or
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.memorc) with a line MEMO_PATH=/path/you/would/like , Memo will use that path instead of
       the default $HOME/.memo path.

       It's  also  possible  to  set  memo  path  using  an   environment   variable.    For   example:   export
       MEMO_PATH=/path/to/some/file.  If  MEMO_PATH  environment  variable is set that will be used. If it's not
       set, Memo will try to read .memorc for MEMO_PATH. If the file does not exist or has errors, Memo will use
       $HOME/.memo file to store the notes.

       Since version 1.3 -D option asks for confirmation before deleting all notes.  It's  possible  to  disable
       this confirmation via .memorc property. To disable the confirmation add MEMO_CONFIRM_DELETE=no to
        .memorc file.

       Since version 1.5 it's possible to set a property MARK_AS_DONE in
        .memorc.  The  property  takes  a  valid  date  as a value. For example: MARK_AS_DONE=2014-12-23. If the
       property is set Memo will mark all notes older than the property value as done automatically.

NOTES

       On some terminal emulators with Bash you can't use exclamation mark if Bash  history  expand  feature  is
       enabled.  For  example:  memo  -a  "This  is a test note!" 2014-12-20 would fail. Some terminal emulators
       workaround this (Gnome Terminal for example). You might want to disable Bash history expand if you  don't
       use it by putting set +H to your ~/.bashrc. Please note, that this is not a bug in Memo, or in Bash. It's
       a feature of Bash.

FILES

       $HOME/.memo $HOME/.memorc, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.memorc

COLORS

       Since  version  1.6  Memo  has  support  for  colors.  Color support can be enabled in .memorc by setting
       USE_COLORS=yes. By default Memo uses blue for odd lines and magenta for even lines. These can be modified
       via .memorc properties LINE_COLOR and ODD_LINE_COLOR. Supported colors are:

       red

       cyan

       green

       blue

       black

       brown

       magenta

       gray

       none
