Alarm
Use Alarm when you want to be reminded of important events.
Alarm must be turned on in order to sound signaling the occurrence
of an event. The alarm sounds regardless of the application you are
using. You can merge Calendar events into the Alarm file or add
events directly to it. Alarm automatically sorts events
in

at the Main Menu to select Alarm.
Alarm is always in the edit (overstrike) mode. Each character
replaces the character at the current cursor position. Blank entry
lines are displayed when you open the Alarm file for the first time.
At this point, you can add an event by entering the appropriate data
for each line.
After an Alarm file contains events, the screen displays those events
(beginning with the current date) each time you open the file. To
add an event to the Alarm file after
it
contains events, use the Add
function. (See “The Alarm Functions.”)

Enter dates in the
