Thank you to the both of you for responding so quickly.

Basically the reasoning why I' doing all this is to try and take more
detailed notes on stuff that maybe the end user should not see in the ticket
- which right now I kinda have to do.  I still want to capture this
information, so muse-mode kinda made partial sense for documentation
needs.   The goal again is really to have my own "private notes" in the end.

Matthew hit it right on the head about what I was trying to do - and that's
using the file.  I apologize for my newbieness with org-mode (I admit while
I've used it awhile, I never really scratched much more than the bare
surface of this extension), and yes the following would work perfectly
fine.  The only problem is that a lot of my stuff is automatically generated
in one of the files - so keeping notes in the same file complicate matters a
bit when it comes to my matching those notes in regard to the next entry.

I don't know if I'm being clear about what I'm bringing up, but Matt's post
really helped in explaining how to get by with what I feel I need now - but
I think I'll need to spend some time and reconsider all this.

Thanks,

David
