Two things.
You can also find your next appointment by pressing enter with n.
You can check an alarm in an appointment by pressing backspace with a
The one problem is that when an alarm goes off, as far as I know, in order to 
reschedule your appointment you have to cancel your alarm or wait untill it 
finally goes through it's complete cycle, which could be an houre later, in 
which it will ring every however long untill it finishes it's whole cycle.
What I mean is, you can set the length of time the alarm rings and how long 
between rings.
If you don't do something, the alarm will ring from the time it is set for to 
the next houre, that is, if you have an alarm set for 10-30 it will ring for 
the length of time you set, ie 30 seconds and then stop only to go off again 
five minutes later.
This will continue until 11-30.
What I think Tina wants to do is not need to cancel the alarm when she turns on 
her bn, but rather just have the alarm reschedule when she reschedules her 
appointment.
Perhaps in the alarm options menu which comes up when you turn on the bn when 
an alarm is going on, there should also be a reschedule alar--appointment 
option.
