        !            12: calendar is the COHERENT system's ``reminder service''.  It reads
        !            13: a user's  $HOME directory and looks for  a file called .calendar.
        !            14: This file  contains information  organized by date.   If calendar
        !            15: finds .calendar,  it reads it and checks the  date of each entry;
        !            16: if an  event is scheduled to happen today  or tomorrow, it prints
        !            17: it.  Thus,  you can use  calendar to remind you  of both one-time

        !            19: saries).
