Hi!

In my setup i have 5 org-remember-templates.

Since my memory is not very good :), i have modified org-remember-templates
to include another element in the list that tells me the name of it.

And then org-remember-apply-template to, when prompting for selecting the
template, show the name along with the keycode.

Something like:

Select template: Work (w) Home (h)

I think the patch is easy enough, so i haven't created a bug.

I hope this helps somebody.

Thanks for org-mode, it's helping me a lot!!!
