I have a small to-do list that I like to keep in my diary file. Every morning I change the date so that these few lines from the diary file appear in my fancy diary window, which shows various appointments for that day. Of course, it would be handy if the to-do list would follow automatically the current date. Thanks! =Randy= P.S. Sorry, but this may be a duplicate message! -- R.
