Hi ST,
Thanks for the tip. I tried what you suggested an the output is below.

Growl"|/usr/local/bin/growlnotify -s*

Macintosh-3:~ manukaul$

It seems like it needs another parameter to it? Did the above command work
on your machine and did it echo the statement? I get the point of how you
add your remind statements through some script which automatically appends
the growlnotify piped in. Would you mind sharing this script with me?

Cheers,
Manu

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and
falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
