REMINDERS:

You may set up reminder notices to
remind you of upcoming payments due or
any other message. Select the 'Reminder'
menu and choose 'New' to create a new
reminder or 'Edit Existing' to review and
edit whatever reminders are already there.
Enter your message (up to 79 characters)
in the space provided, and set the date on
which you wish reminder messages to
begin appearing. For example, if the
phone bill is due on June 19, you may
wish to be reminded beginning June 14.
Reminders appear when you first open the
file (the file CURRENT.BGT opens when
you start BUDGET MANAGER), so if you
do not run the program every day, be sure
to leave enough time to see your
message before the bill is due. If your rent
or house payment is due the 20th of every
month, you can set up a permanent
reminder which will begin reminding you
every month on the 15th. Simply select
'ANY' for the month and enter 15 for the
day. The year is irrelevant in this case.
Then every month, on or after the 15th, the
reminder message will appear. When
everything is as you want, select one of
the buttons at the bottom which begins
with 'OK'. You have the option of finishing
editing the reminders; going on to another,
new, reminder; or editing the next or
previous existing reminder. You can also
choose 'Cancel' (which leaves the current
reminder unchanged, or deletes it if the
message is blank) or 'Delete' (which
deletes the current message). The check
box 'Turn Reminder On' is intended for the
monthly reminders primarily, but any
reminder can be turned off. New reminders
start turned on.

When a reminder message appears on
your screen, you have three options. You
can have it remind you the next time by
clicking on 'Remind Again' or just
pressing the 'Enter' key. If you will not
need the reminder again, you can click on
'Delete'. For monthly reminders you will
not need until the next month, select
'Reminder Off'. When you give a 'New
Month' command, all reminders will be
automatically turned on again. Any old
dated reminders will appear at that time to
remind you to delete them. Reminders
only work for files which are not locked
(locked files are the archive files created
by 'New Month').
