I don't know what's happening to you, but I thought I would mention
that I have successfully edited tkremind reminders with a text editor.
All I've ever had to do to get the revised reminder was to tell
tkremind to go to a different month and then back again.

I thought the trick was to restore the older rem file from the backup.
However, no reminder in the old file was modifiable any longer. But
this is quite annoying, a backup should be able to restore the old
situation. What exactly is the origin of this behaviour of
remind/tkremind and why was this done?

Looked up tkremind(1) and it says it's not possible. No tricks to
circumvent this?

Hi,
using tkremind, I modified an existing reminder, but the mod
included an illegal character (was the message). This was the "["
character, so I edited the rem file (not withstanding the "DO NOT
EDIT" warning) to change the "[", because it was not even visible
in tkremind.
I restarted tkremind, but it comes up with the message that it had
created an empty 100-tkremind.rem file and new reminders go to this
new file, and while the existing reminders are visible in tkremind,
these cannot be modified any more. Apparently there is something in
the rem file that inhibits modifications(?), but what?
Thanks, Charles
