To those who may be interested in ADDNOTE:
1. On the Mac, simply include "*.txt" in the file rename command called notefile.
2. Avoid the use of apostrophes, as they cause the command to crash with the error message:
/bin/bash: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Best wishes,
Michael McCulloch
