Bug Description
Hi,
I would like to request some functionality from Remind be incorporated into wyrd.
Remind provides the symbolic link 'rem'. When 'remind' is called as 'rem' it does not take a FILE argument but uses a default file. If the environment variable DOTREMINDERS is set use it's value else use "$HOME/.reminders" as the file.
As wyrd already incorporates the optional FILE argument it seems fitting to also support the env var.
For now I am using 'alias wyrd="wyrd $DOTREMINDERS"' in my shell rc.
rem manual page name and description ($ man rem):
NAME
rem - Invoke Remind with a default filename
DESCRIPTION
rem is a symbolic link to remind. When remind determines that it has been invoked as rem, it uses a default filename than expecting a filename to be supplied on the command line.
If the environment variable DOTREMINDERS is set, remind uses the value of DOTREMINDERS as the filename. Otherwise, remind uses the filename $HOME/.reminders
