Hmm. My reading of 'trapped' was that Ian thought that there was no way to
copy notes, but perhaps I was interpreting him over-literally and he was in
fact complaining that you couldn't copy an entire note in 2 key-strokes (if
you count a key-combination like Ctrl-A as one key stroke). OK fair enough.
But here's how you can do it 3:

(I'm assuming that you're looking at the memo box for note editing - ie. the
one that comes up when you double-click on any note field)

Ctrl-Home
Shift-Ctrl-End
Ctrl-C

Some people may find it more convenient to use Ctrl-Insert instead of Ctrl-C
in step 3.

I've added support for Ctrl-A to the wish list.
