(Aside: I'm going to try to get in some cheap advertising for my me-ware product ;-) Hmm, without knowing a whole lot about planner, etc., why don't you put multiple notes on (in) a (if I have my terms right) single 'M-x remember' buffer. (That is essentially what I do in my nedit based (currently) off-line askSam / TWiki workalike thingie. I use a record separator to separate different notes, and have (fairly) easy-to-use macros to search through the notes in various ways (including folding, to view just the "titles" of the notes).) If you want to later put each reminder in a separate buffer (correct terminology?), simply copy and paste from the 'M-x remember' buffer to separate "permanent" buffers.
