DateBk3/4 (& the classic DateBook for that matter) ... and DiddleBug, have
the "Edit" option when an alarm goes off. I think that all pending alarms
are displayed first. With diddlebug you don't end up switching to diddlebug
after the pending alarm chain is through. I don't recall w/ the datebooks
... but I think that you _do_ switch ...
Anyway, this is something that can be solved pre 4.0.
