I used to have a separate "Apply" and "Save" button, but found it confusing,
so I removed that.  Perhaps a compromise would be to automatically back
up the old settings when you press Save and have a button to revert to the
backed-up settings?

Hmm.  Does vi run in the same terminal you started TkRemind from?  Could
you use a graphical version instead ("gvim") so it opens up in its
own window?  (I use an editor that opens up in its own window.)
