There is a small program called Locknote (tinyurl.com/25q3m2).
It is a Windows executable (AFAIK it does not work on Linux,
unless Wine would work). It is a simple text editor that
encrypts itself when you close it. I'm not sure how secure it
is, but it seems alright (256-bit AES symmetric). I just wanted
to put that out there if you wanted to try it.

Note: the executable file saves to itself (the editor itself is
the document) so i'd make a backup of the original executable to
make more docs.
