1 Reminder
Invokes the VAX Personal Reminder Utility to add,  delete  or  display
personal reminder messages.

Format:
        REMIND[er] {ME}

The Reminder Utility works on any VT100 compatible terminal.
2 Operation
The Reminder Utility can be invoked  in  one  of  two  ways.   If  the
command "REMINDER" is given without any argument, the Reminder Utility
will prompt you for  the  various  options  such  as  ADD,  DELETE  or
DISPLAY.   If  you  use  the "REMIND ME" form of the command, Reminder
will search your reminder file for any current reminders  and  display
those it finds.

To enable automatic display of reminder  messages  during  LOGIN,  you
MUST  put  the  following  line  in  your  LOGIN.COM file in your HOME
directory:

        $ REMIND ME

This will cause the Reminder  Utility  to  automatically  display  any
current  reminder  messages  each time you LOGIN on that day.  You may
have up to 365 different reminder messages  active  during  any  given
time category, i.e.  TODAY, TOMORROW or FUTURE.  Current messages will
be displayed on your terminal in the following format:

[Reminder - "Text of the reminder message"]

Of course, you may issue the "REMIND ME" command at any time to  check
for current reminder messages.
2 Commands
Use the "REMINDER" command (without any argument) to enter the command
mode.

Reminder has commands that allow you to [A]dd,  [D]elete  and  display
reminder  messages  of  your choice, based on a date.  Also, each time
that you invoke Reminder, it will automatically  delete  OLD  reminder
messages  (any  messages  with  dates  earlier than the present date).
Reminder messages are kept in SYS$LOGIN:REMINDERS.  If  there  are  no
current or future messages, this file is automatically deleted.

2 Date Formats

There are four types of DATE formats that REMINDER understands when
you
are Adding or Deleting messages.  These are:


        <CR>            indicates TODAYS date

        DAY             indicates the DAY of the CURRENT month and
                        year (Ex: 23 would be 23rd of current month
                        and current year)

        DAY-MONTH       indicates the DAY and MONTH of the CURRENT
                        year (Ex: 23-MAY would be 23rd of MAY in the
                        current year)

        DAY-MONTH-YEAR  full date specification (Ex: 23-APR-1990)

Note that the MONTH is a THREE letter field and the  YEAR  is  a  FOUR
letter  field,  i.e.   JAN,FEB,MAR,APR,MAY,JUN,JUL,AUG,SEP,OCT,NOV,DEC
for the MONTH and 1983,1984,2000, etc.  for the year.
