I knew about the date book alarm, but you're right -- it's too short
and not snoozable. I assumed that the "execOnStartup" was there for
the scheduler, but I haven't been able to find a file called "Alarm.geo"
in "Desk Accessories" or anywhere else for that matter. Does this
file have the hidden attribute set or is something else going on?

This sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks, I'll give Palm a call.
