The problem with this is that it doesn't source the .reminders file 
which INCLUDES all the other reminders.

This does do what I was describing and works well for adding reminders 
from the command line.

What I ended up doing was setting ~/.todo as the default reminders file 
both in wyrd and remind (via the $DOTREMINDERS environment variable).  I 
had to put my INCLUDES in ~/.todo but I was able to leave function 
definitions, etc in ~/.reminders.  This way I still have separation 
between the reminders and the supporting stuff.  

Thanks,
