[Remind-Fans] Attaching notes to an event

Inspired by Phil Snowberger's suggestion about external note files, I 
adapted wxRemind so that it is now possible to add arbitrarily long 
notes to reminders. Press 'N' with a reminder selected to open the 
associated note in an external editor, first creating it if necessary, 
or press 'D' with a reminder selected to delete the associated note. 
Reminders that have associated notes are displayed in wxRemind's 
selected day window in a user determined 'notecolor'. Notes are kept in 
separate text files in a user determined 'notedir'. Note files have 
automatically generated file names that are stored as TAG keywords in 
the user's reminder files, e.g.,

	REM 24 Jan 2008 AT 11:30 DUR 1:30 TAG NOTE-Z3JYcB MSG Faculty Meeting

This tag would appear in remind -s output as

	2008/01/24 * NOTE-Z3JYcB 90 690 11:30am-1:00pm Faculty Meeting

but otherwise would have no effect on remind output.

As always, wxRemind can be downloaded at 
http://www.duke.edu/~dgraham/wxRemind.

Best wishes,
Dan
