Customizing Appointment Reminders
=================================

   You can specify exactly how Emacs reminds you of an appointment, and
how far in advance it begins doing so, by setting these variables:

`appt-message-warning-time'
     The time in minutes before an appointment that the reminder
     begins.  The default is 10 minutes.

`appt-audible'
     If this is non-`nil', Emacs rings the terminal bell for
     appointment reminders.  The default is `t'.

`appt-visible'
     If this is non-`nil', Emacs displays the appointment message in
     the echo area.  The default is `t'.

`appt-display-mode-line'
     If this is non-`nil', Emacs displays the number of minutes to the
     appointment on the mode line.  The default is `t'.

`appt-msg-window'
     If this is non-`nil', Emacs displays the appointment message in
     another window.  The default is `t'.

`appt-disp-window-function'
     This variable holds a function to use to create the other window
     for the appointment message.

`appt-delete-window-function'
     This variable holds a function to use to get rid of the appointment
     message window, when its time is up.

`appt-display-duration'
     The number of seconds to display an appointment message.  The
     default is 5 seconds.
