I might also point out that Wyrd lets you create your own reminder
templates and bind them to different keys, so you could automate
creation of CAL-type reminders pretty easily.

The fact that remind's scripting language is fairly expressive is both a
blessing and a curse. :-)

I guess that would make more sense.  I've always organized my reminders
into several different files, so I never noticed that annoyance.  I'll
look into it for next release.

Note that 1.2.0 fixes the reminder searching bug that you reported...
so if that was important to you, you may want to upgrade.
