        Ok, I was able to repair the damage with a text editor. The text
        editors I tried would not work on .reminders so I copied it to
        reminders without the dot, and then copied the result back to
        the dot file and everything looks good again. That's probably
        not the right way to do it but being ignorant of the correct way
        I have to muddle through as best I can. I simply replaced the
        "[" with a "p". I also  moved it into a directory that makes a
        little more sense than the place where it evolved.

        Thanks to all,

        Bob
