I use `remind' almost exclusively as a to-do list.  Here's part of my
`functions' file:

  ) # This is for Todo lists
  ) IF [! ($CalMode || $SimpleCal || defined("tkremind"))]
  )   set nag "*1"
  ) ELSE
  )   # in calendar mode we dont want to see nagging
  )   set nag ""
  ) ENDIF

The "todo" list looks like:

  ) 2006 Jun 18 [nag] Start %"Important Project%"; details are in ~/IP.txt.
  ) 2006 Aug 26 [nag] PRIORITY 9999  Do %"Less Important Thing%"

This way I can plan my tasks, and I'll see them from the specified date
until I delete them or move till another day.

I don't think this is possible with my setup, but I've never felt
any need for this.
