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
