ADDED: one can now use the unix-like "cd" command to change to another

topic, thus use "cd topicname" instead just typing "topicname"!
FIXED:          there was a smal regex bug which maked it impossible to use such
                topics: "4 test", in such a case note just displayed note number 4
                instead of cd'ing to topic "4 test".
ADDED:          a new config option "$KEEP_TIMESTAMP" allows a user to disable
                note's default behavior of updating the timestamp of a note after
                editing it.
