I don't know if this will help me,  let alone anyone else, but I have 
spent a couple hours and plan to spend more using Tom Boy notes.  I am 
making notes of comands etc with very short memory joggers written 
behind them.  I hope I can quickly refer to them when need be.  I find 
it nearly impossible to remember them especially when I need them. The 
big thing will be finding what I need among them. If you can't remember 
the comand aphabetical order is not much help.  I'm thinking basic stuff 
to start with to keep the list short, if it'd too long it's worthless.   
Makeing the notes is helping me to remember. Maybe I would do well to 
delete them several times and rewrite,my memory is pathetic :-)
