REMIND - Version 0.1
Prints A Custom "Reminder" Note On The CP/M-86 Status Line
Freeware from Kirk Lawrence


REMIND lets you display your own custom 14-character "reminder" note on the
CP/M-86 status line...where it's always visible on the screen to jog your
memory.  It's a handy way to remember appointments, phone numbers, things-
to-do, etc.  Think of it as an electronic "Post-It" note!

What kinds of notes would you put on the status line with REMIND?
Well, here are some examples:

     Meeting, 10 am
     Call Bob @ 2pm
     Sue - 555-1212
     Buy groceries
     1-800-555-1212
     See Greg - 3pm
     Get b'day gift
     TOM'S COMPUTER

If you can say it in 14 characters or less, you can put it on the status line! 

TO PUT YOUR MESSAGE ON THE STATUS LINE: At the CP/M-86 prompt, type:

     REMIND

...then press the ENTER key.  The following will appear on the screen:


     REMIND - Version 0.1
     Print A "Reminder" Note On The Status Line
     Freeware from Kirk Lawrence

     Type in your note (maximum 14 characters): ______________


Now, simply type in the message you wish to display, up to 14 characters.
If you make a typing mistake, use the BACKSPACE key to back the cursor up,
and correct the error.  When you've finished entering your message, press
the ENTER key.  If your message comes out to exactly 14 characters, REMIND
automatically "presses the ENTER key" for you when you type the 14th char-
acter.  In either case, your message is instantly printed to the CP/M-86
status line.

Your "reminder" message will stay on the status line until:

     1. You reboot the computer.

     2. You change the message by using REMIND again to put a
        different message on the status line.

     3. You use REMIND to clear the message from the status line.

TO CHANGE YOUR "REMINDER" MESSAGE:  Just run REMIND again from the command
prompt, and type in your new message.  The new message will automatically
replace the old one.

TO CLEAR YOUR "REMINDER" MESSAGE:  From the command prompt, run REMIND with
the command line argument C or /C (REMIND C or REMIND /C).  Either an upper-
case or a lower-case "c" may be used.

Note: If you invoke the program with any command line argument other than C
or /C, REMIND will totally ignore it, and will present you with the normal
text entry screen, shown above.

If, after invoking REMIND, you change your mind and decide that you DON'T 
want to put a message on the status line after all, just press the ENTER key
without typing in any text.  REMIND will immediately abort, and return you
to the CP/M-86 command prompt.

REMIND.CMD is free.  As is always the case with "freeware," there are no
guarantees whatsoever.  If you use the program, you do so entirely at your
own risk and peril.  Your use of REMIND.CMD shall be prima facie evidence
under law that you understand and accept these terms and conditions.
