blank lines between appts.

Hi,

In the tkremind window, I get undesired blank lines between
each appointment, such as:

         13
  +---------------+
  |8:00am mgr-mtg |
  |               |
  |10:00am bug-mtg|
  |               |
  |12:00pm stts-re|
  +---------------+

and then anything else for this day is truncated.

If the blank lines weren't inserted between each appt,
more appointments per day could be displayed.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,
--

Yes, but you can scroll by holding down the middle button in the day's window
and dragging the mouse.

OK, I didn't know about that.
Works for me, but using the left mouse button, not the middle one...

(not knowing tcl/tk:)
I had tried changing tkremind,v 1.30 2000/06/26
at line 650 to be (a) just a newline without the "....."
or (b) just a comment line.

(a) is what is giving me the blank lines that I originally
described (I see).
(b) is more like what I want to see (no blank lines, no
"....." separators), except for one (little?) gotcha:
as I mouse over appointments and they turn red,
they usually stay red.  Is there a decent/clean fix for this?
If not, I'll just leave it this way.  It's better than
wasting the blank or "....." line space between each appointment.

Thanks,

Moon

Is it possible to draw the moon phase on the PS output ?  It seems possible 
according to this screenshot 
( http://linuxjournal.com/modules/NS-lj-issues/issue70/3529f3.gif ) 
but I can't draw them.  Any ideas ?

Sure.

Put these four lines in .reminders:

REM [trigger(moondate(0))] SPECIAL MOON 0 -1 -1 [moontime(0)]
REM [trigger(moondate(1))] SPECIAL MOON 1 -1 -1 [moontime(1)]
REM [trigger(moondate(2))] SPECIAL MOON 2 -1 -1 [moontime(2)]
REM [trigger(moondate(3))] SPECIAL MOON 3 -1 -1 [moontime(3)]

Then:  remind -p .reminders | rem2ps > out.ps

Regards,

David.

User Manual

Is there any detailed user manual available for remind, for Linux newbies to set up remind for the first time?
 
The docs expect you to know many if not all things about Linux.
