Thanks for the idea, Paul.  Based on that, I've decided to go with a shell 
script (that accepts, for example, the date as input).  The crux of it is:

   rem -s -b1 | \
   awk '/2006\/12\/22/ { print substr($0, length($1 $2 $3 $4 $5) + 6) }' | \
   sed -e 's/^\([0-9]\{2\}\):/\1/' -e 's/^\([A-Za-z]\)/ --  \1/'

The first sed command is to remove the colon from the time output (on an 
aesthetic level, it's something I'm more used to and thus prefer), whilst the 
second aligns the reminders without a time.

Regards,
Andy
