You should change "NAMEOFYOURNOTE" so what name you have given it in your editor. It should look something like this:

Spoiler below!

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">DESCRIBE YOUR CUSTOM STORY HERE</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
<Entry Name="Note_NOTENAME_Name">NOTENAME</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_NOTENAME_Text">NOTE TEXT!</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Inventory">
<Entry Name="ItemName_KEYNAME">KEYNAME</Entry>
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_KEYNAME">KEY DESCRIPTION</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

</LANGUAGE>




You should change: NOTENAME to the name you want on your note. NOTE TEXT to what text you want etc.

I could have made a misstake but I am very tired. That .lang should work for you thou. For the key there is abit to configure in your .hps file also.
