I thought I would update this thread with a link to a free version of NotePad for Blackberries. I have has a version of this little tool for years. I came across a few sites that said there wasn't a NotePad for the Blackberry. The Memo functionality supported this function.
Here is a link to the details and OTA for any interested parties.
It is called "BBNotePad".
