calendar.

4. Assign a color to this event (optional).

5. To include an e-mail or a popup reminder that will appear at a specified time prior to the

start of an event, check the Reminder check box and choose an advance notification
time period for the drop down list.

WARNING! The Scheduler must be running for reminders to be activated.
Minimizing the Scheduler window will enable pop-up and e-mail reminders to
