   C'mon nospam.   
      
   You know I test out scores of apps every month.   
      
   I was trying to find a text editor that I could use to make my   
   shopping list and todo list.   
      
   Being highly detail oriented and ADHD (Aspergers?), I often   
   think of something I need to buy or to do while I'm on the   
   road.   
      
   If I don't jot it down, I'll forget it.   
      
   Most memo apps are too many steps on Android, and most don't   
   do what I want, which is always KISS simple.   
      
   So, I came up with a nice efficient system using ES File Explorer   
   on Android which puts a symbolic link to a file on the desktop.   
      
   I click the file, and up it comes in the text editor of my   
   choice, where I input the commands by voice, such as "buy   
   milk" or "remember to pay the property taxes".   
      
   Then I click "save" or "quit" (which is set to save) and   
   I can use the phone for other things.   
      
   As an aside, the iPad does a better job of such instant memos,   
   but, on Android, I was testing out a dozen text editors to see   
   which were the easiest (fewest steps) to use while driving.
