;; On Windows, load cygwin-mount.el and setup-cygwin.el, from Emacs wiki:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=index;match=%5C.(el%7Ctar)(%5C.gz)%
3F%24

;; (That just gives you a bash shell etc.)

C-x b *scratch*

Select the text "notes you don't want".

M-x format-encode-region RET rot13 RET

Select the same region (text that was just encoded).

M-x format-decode-region RET rot13 RET

The entire buffer gets ROT13'd, not just the region.
