*----------- begin example -------------
sysuse auto, clear

// display the notes
notes

// access the notes as a local macro
// called `_dta[note1]'
di "`_dta[note1]'"
*------------ end example --------------

-notes- appears to be a front end for -char- (see: -help char-)

Hope this helps,
Maarten
