Name

dxcalendar − DECwindows calendar program

Syntax

dxcalendar [ options ]

Description

The dxcalendar command starts an on-line interactive calendar and appointment book.  The calendar stores and organizes information about events, reminds you when the scheduled events are due to take place, and can automatically schedule events that repeat on a regular basis. 

When it first starts, dxcalendar creates a binary database file named .dxcalendar.dat in your home directory. 

The dxcalendar command displays calendar information by providing individual windows for a year, month, or day.  By default, dxcalendar displays a window containing a month display with the current day enclosed in a box. 

To select a month or day, click on the appropriate name or number.  To move backwards and forwards within one display type, use the scroll bars provided.  To change from one display type to another, double-click on the appropriate item.  For example, to show a year display, double-click on the year. 

For more information, see the DECwindows Desktop Applications Guide, click on the Help menu, or use the Help key. 

Options

−bd color Specifies the color of the window’s border (color displays only).  The default is specified by means of the Session Manager’s Customize Window dialog box. 

−bg color Specifies the color of the window’s background (color displays only).  The default is specified by means of the Session Manager’s Customize Window dialog box. 

−d dispname Specifies the display screen on which dxcalendar displays its window.  If the display option is not specified, dxcalendar uses the display screen specified by your DISPLAY environment variable.  The display option has the format hostname:number.  Using two colons (::) instead of one (:) indicates that DECnet is to be used for transport.  The default is :0.  For more information, see X(.).

−display dispname This option is the same as the −d option.
