Logging time stamp and notes

Logging time stamp and notes

[Yann Tambouret]

I think this feature is available, but I can't seem to find it in the 
manual. I'd like to write a note similar to a closing note:

   CLOSED: [2008-08-19 Tue 09:07]
   - CLOSING NOTE [2008-08-19 Tue 09:07] \\
     Done and done

But I'd like it to be unrelated to a changing of the todo state. 
Something like:

    - NOTE [2008-08-19 Tue 09:07] \\
     Still waiting on Jim for the files...

I'd use it both from the agenda view and the plain org file. Could this 
be done with remember? Have an interactive heading and file, which 
defaults to a sub tree of the current location. This would make the 
remember note an actual heading though and not a bullet or dash.

Any thoughts, hints or advice?

Thanks,

Yann

Looks like you want org-agenda-add-note.

It's bound to 'z' in the agenda and 'C-c C-z' in regular org.

Thank you Dennis and Ian; this is exactly what I was looking for.

In Agenda view typing z whilst on a TODO item lets you add a note. Is
that what you need?
