purse
and follow the handy on screen instructions.
To create a new pocket/note.
purse pocketname notename

purse pocketname notename
or edit with:
purse pocketname notename --edit
Each time it will ask you for the password you initially provided to encrypt it.
For more commands/info run:
purse --help
