\begin{Description}\relax
These generic functions access notes (unstructured descriptive data)
associated \code{\LinkA{eSet-class}{eSet.Rdash.class}} or \code{\LinkA{exprSet-class}{exprSet.Rdash.class}}.

\code{notes(<ExpressionSet> <- <character>} is unusual, in that the
character vector is appended to the list of notes; use
\code{notes(<ExpressionSet>) <- <list>} to entirely replace the list.
