[snip] > Or is there another way of doing this with multiple files? I worked up a solution that worked for me, and it went like this: I use vim, and I keep my remind files in ~/reminders. I created a directory ~/reminders/notes, and added it to vim's 'path' variable by adding "set path+=~/reminders/notes" to my ~/.vimrc file To attach a note to a file, I create a new file in ~/reminders/notes, say "AmazonPrime" for a note on my amazon prime membership expiration. Then I'll add a bit of text to the reminder for it, like REM Dec 18 2008 MSG %"Amazon Prime expires%" @AmazonPrime@ %b% In wyrd, 'e' while the cursor is on a calendar item takes you to the responsible line in your reminders file. Then in vim, you can put the cursor on the "AmazonPrime" and use the magic 'gf' command, and it will open ~/reminders/notes/AmazonPrime. There's nothing magic about enclosing it in @s, except to distinguish it and maybe add syntax highlighting to it. It's a fairly manual solution, but again, it worked for me. hth, --Phil -- Phil Snowberger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Notre Dame _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.whatexit.org/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans
