I don't know how to open rle files with notepad.
Here's 2 ways:
1. Create a shortcut to Notepad.exe on your desktop so you can drag .rle files onto the shortcut icon.
2. Right-click on a .rle file and you should get a menu that lets you "Open With" a program of your choice. My menu (on XP) has another item saying "Edit with Notepad++" so you might also see that.

Also, in golly, if you copy a pattern, you can just paste it into notepad and it will automatically be converted into rle.

#b stands for # of blank cell
#o same as above, but for a live cell
