They're good suggestions, but can be achieved with a little
shell script wrapper like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    # myrem
    if test "$REMIND_OPTS" = "" ; then
        REMIND_OPTS="- at 2,2,1"
    fi
    exec remind $REMIND_OPTS "$@"


This lets you set the REMIND_OPTS environment variable; it if's not
set, then a default of "- at 2,2,1" is used.

That's very unlikely to be implemented, sorry.  I think the shell script
wrapper is the way to go.

Regards,

Dianne.
