Section: What it does.

Notepad allows the author to create one or more things called notepads. The player can write text on a notepad, read the text, erase the text, add to the text, erase specific strings of characters from the text, and copy the text from one notepad to another. Text on a notepad can be write-protected. Other characters can also use notepads, if ordered to do so by the player.

By default, a writing implement is needed to write on a notepad (but not to erase what's on it). The writer must be carrying the writing implement.

Version 2 is updated to work with Inform 6G60. The Check rules in Sections 4 and 5 have been edited to reflect Inform's more strict handling of the declaration of temporary variables, and the now deprecated syntax "change X to Y" has been removed.
