guys, first, the reason i missed "remind" and thought i was looking for the calendar utility "when" was that i was scanning the remind page for =exec=. it is, rather, =run=, or RUN. I have things partly working. i hav e the message part outputting strings via xmessage instead of xless. much more tuning to do. thing is that the man page is > 40 pages, and that is more than i can handle. so if i can capture the ascii text output of the remind man page and cut out what i want, that would be agreat help. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.83a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org
