Yeah, it could be done -- probably match entries based on the
description (the MSG part of the reminder).  The format is *for sure*
nice enough to parse -- actually, easier than the remind file.

The hard part would be choosing which reminders to put in -- the way
it is now, it just picks the reminders before a delimiter you put in
~/.reminders.

I'll think about it -- but using -p would be a good way to go.

Thanks for the info!
