;;; Commentary:

;;
;; appt.el - visible and/or audible notification of
;;           appointments from ~/diary file.
;;
;;;
;;; Thanks to  Edward M. Reingold for much help and many suggestions,
;;; And to many others for bug fixes and suggestions.
;;;
;;;
;;; This functions in this file will alert the user of a 
;;; pending appointment based on their diary file.
;;;
;;; A message will be displayed in the mode line of the Emacs buffer
;;; and (if you request) the terminal will beep and display a message
;;; from the diary in the mini-buffer, or you can choose to 
;;; have a message displayed in a new buffer.
;;;
;;; The variable `appt-message-warning-time' allows the
;;; user to specify how much notice they want before the appointment. The 
;;; variable `appt-issue-message' specifies whether the user wants
;;; to to be notified of a pending appointment.
;;; 
;;; In order to use the appt package, you only need
;;; to load it---provided you have appointments.
;;;
;;; Before that, you can also set some options if you want
;;;   (setq view-diary-entries-initially t)
;;;   (setq appt-issue-message t)
;;; 
;;;  This is an example of what can be in your diary file:
;;; Monday
;;;   9:30am Coffee break
;;;  12:00pm Lunch        
;;; 
;;; Based upon the above lines in your .emacs and diary files, 
;;; the calendar and diary will be displayed when you enter
;;; Emacs and your appointments list will automatically be created.
;;; You will then be reminded at 9:20am about your coffee break
;;; and at 11:50am to go to lunch. 
;;;
;;; Use describe-function on appt-check for a description of other variables
;;; that can be used to personalize the notification system.
;;;
;;;  In order to add or delete items from todays list, use appt-add
;;;  and appt-delete.
;;;
;;;  Additionally, the appointments list is recreated automatically
;;;  at 12:01am for those who do not logout every day or are programming
;;;  late.
;;;
;;; Brief internal description - Skip this if you are not interested!
;;;
;;; The function appt-make-list creates the appointments list which appt-check
;;; reads. This is all done automatically.
;;; It is invoked from the function list-diary-entries.
;;;
;;; You can change the way the appointment window is created/deleted by
;;; setting  the variables
;;;
;;;	     appt-disp-window-function
;;; and
;;; 	     appt-delete-window-function
;;;
;;; For instance, these variables can be set to functions that display
;;; appointments in pop-up frames, which are lowered or iconified after
;;; appt-display-interval minutes.
;;;

;;; Code:

;; Make sure calendar is loaded when we compile this.

	Default is t.

`appt-visible'
	Variable used to determine if appointment message should be

`appt-msg-window'
	Variable used to determine if appointment message
	should temporarily appear in another window.  Mutually exclusive
	to `appt-visible'.

`appt-display-duration'
	The number of seconds an appointment message
	is displayed in another window.

`appt-disp-window-function'
    	Function called to display appointment window.  You can customize
	appt.el by setting this variable to a function different from the
	one provided with this package.
  
`appt-delete-window-function'
