Sure it does: Its doc string explains that it can be set to 1 of 3 values (window, echo, nil). And the appt-display-message function runs the function bound to appt-disp-window-function when appt-display-message is set to window. > appt-display-format doesn't even appear in calendar.el Yes, but `C-h v appt-display TAB TAB' shows appt-display-diary among *Completions*, and selecting that displays *Help* with a link to appt.el. Follow that link, then you can `C-s appt-display-format C-s C-s C-s ...'. > But thanks for your input. You're welcome. -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
