.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Plog
is an intelligent electronic notebook system based upon the
.I Mail
program.
.PP
.I Plog
records messages by invoking the
.I Mail
program. After the
.I Mail
program starts up, you are expected to type in your message, followed by
a period or a CTRL-D at the beginning of a line.
If
.I plog
is invoked with a
.I projectname
argument the message is appended to the `projectlog' file in the root
directory of that project; otherwise the current working project is assumed.
.PP
The `projectlog' file can be edited via the
.I Mail
program, pretty-printed with subject headings, and sorted into chronological
order.
.SH OPTIONS

.I Mail
program.

.IP \fB\-p\fR\^[\fIlow\fR[-\fIhigh\fR]]
