Notecards

Is it possible for a script to manipulate a notecard in an object's inventory?

Specific example:
Say I have an object. In its inventory is a script and a notecard. Suppose the script has a listener set up. Would it be possible that when an agent speaks a word, the script writes that word onto the notecard?

Futhermore, would it be possible for a script to maintain a list on a notecard? That is, to get the list the script reads the notecard, and to add an item to the list, the script writes the item name onto the notecard. I ask because it seems a bit annoying for an object to spit out a really long list via llSay. Using a notecard to hold a list (so it can be read at leisure) seems like a better solution, but I don't want to have to update the notecard by hand every time I have a new list item.

(If you have a better idea than the notecard idea, let me know. A notecard seemed the most appropriate thing, but there may be a better solution I don't know about.)

No, sorry - scripts can't write to notecards.

It would be really great if they could, but they can't.

Edit: If you want to output a long list of stuff to a user, it's best to send them an email, assuming that you don't want to get into connecting to outside servers and so on.
