Perhaps there is a halfway solution? If ~/.reminders is a symlink (and not to a directory), TkRemind could follow the symlink and operate on the real inode instead (i.e. ~/.reminders -> ~/realfile.rem, so it creates relfile.rem.xxx and renames it to realfile.rem). Unfortunately, I don't know wish, so I don't know for sure what needs to change, but I would guess it's something like: # Fake wish/sh combined syntax. set RemindFile $(readlink -f ~/.reminders) Perhaps it's a lot more complicated than that though.
