 The Day Note Editor allows you to enter Day notes in
 your calendar, to repeat them, and to set the icons
 displayed in them.

 While you can enter a Day Note into your calendar
 without using the Day Note Editor, the editor provides
 more flexibility when you want to make longer notes.

 To display the Day Note Editor, double click on the
 Day Note (located below the date) in a Day view timeslot.

 The Entry Editor or the Day Notes Editor allow you to
 enter an appointment in your calendar, adjust the
 alarms for an entry, and schedule a regular
 appointment at specified intervals.

 While you can enter an appointment into your calendar
 without using the editor, they do provide more
 flexibility when you want to make longer entries.

 To display the Entry Editor, double click on the time
 in a Day view timeslot.

 To display the Day Notes editor, double click on the
 entry box below the date in the Day view.

 You can also display the Entry Editor by clicking on the
 timeslot and then choosing the Edit... menu item from the
 Entry menu.

 The various functions of the Entry Editor and the Day
 Notes Editor are described in the additional topics
 listed below.

 The five alarms display their preset values. Alarms
 that are set not to go off are dimmed.

 Click on the bell to set or disable an alarm; then click
 on the button if you want to adjust the time. Move the
 arrow in the scale to adjust to the desired time.

=include csh timeslot_entry timeslot_buttons
 An entry or Day Note can be repeated at almost any
 regular interval.

 To select a repeat interval, display the Repeat option
 menu and choose the desired interval.

 If you choose a monthly interval, you must also make a
 choice from the right-hand option menu to tell Calendar
 which aspect of the current day you want to use as a
 basis for the interval.

 For example, to set a meeting for the first Friday of
 every third month, select the day on which the first
 meeting occurs. Double click in a timeslot to open the
 Entry Editor, and choose the Quarterly item from the
 Repeat option menu. Then choose the first Friday from
 the right-hand option menu.

 If you change or delete an entry that is repeated, a
 dialog box appears, asking how often you want to make the
 change or deletion:

 - Just this instance
 - This and all future instances
 - All instances, past, present, and future

 You can also use this dialog box to make exceptions to
 repeating entries. To do so, make the required adjustment
 to the text of the relevant entry, then click on the OK
 button. After this, use the dialog box to specify when
 the exception should be applied.

=title Setting the Condition Alternatives for Repeating Entries
=keyword repeat work nonwork condition
=include csh timeslot_entry
=include csh timeslot_entry repeat_interval
 If a repeating entry or day note that normally occurs on
 a Work day happens to fall on a Non-Work day (for example,
 if the day is a national holiday), you can tell Calendar
 to move forward, back automatically, or to skip that
 particular occurrence of the entry. The same applies to
 a Non-Work day repeat entry or day note that happens to
 fall on a Work day.

 To set this condition, click on the "But," toggle button
 and choose the appropriate menu items from the two
 adjacent option menus.

 The Entry Editor includes several icons. The icons
 provide quick reminders of the content of the entry.

 To add icons to an entry, double click on the entry,
 which displays the Entry Editor.  In the Entry Editor,
 click on the icons you want to associate with the entry.
 Each icon you click on is displayed in the handle of the
 selected entry.

 To delete an icon from an entry, click again on the
 icon in the icon selection box.

 To change the order of the icons, go to the handle that
 appears to the left of the text entry area in the Entry
 Editor, and click on the icon that you want to bring to
 the top.

 Several icons that appear in the entry handle are not
 displayed by the Entry Editor.  Instead, Calendar inserts
 them automatically:

 - bell indicating that at least one alarm is set
 - (..  indicating the first of a set of repeating
        entries.
 - ...  indicating one in a series of repeating entries.
 - ..)  indicating the last of a set of repeating
        entries

       interval and returns control to Calendar.
       The entry is complete.

 Delete Entry -- Deletes the whole entry, regardless of
                 whether you entered something.

 Reset -- Returns the text, alarm, and repeat interval
          settings to what they were when you opened
          the Entry Editor, but leaves the editor
          displayed so that you can enter further
          changes.

 Cancel -- Returns control to Calendar without saving
           any changes.

=TITLE Day View Timebars
=INCLUDE overview widget_section day_widget
=INCLUDE overview options_menu customize_day lunch_hours
 The Day view contains two timebars, one to the left of
 the timeslots, the other to the right of the vertical
 scroll bar.

 The diagonal shading indicates nonworking hours. The
 short break in the middle represents the lunch hour
 (which you can adjust). A darker tone indicates the
 presence of a calendar entry.

 The right-hand timebar, the Workday timebar, represents a
 condensed (all 24 hours) view of working and nonworking
 hours, and calendar entries for the displayed day.

 The left-hand timebar, the Working Hours timebar,
 corresponds directly to your Day view.

=TITLE Working Hours Timebar
=INCLUDE csh day_display_timebars day/workday_proportion_timebar
=INCLUDE overview widget_section day_widget
 This vertical line to the left of the timeslots in the
 Day view indicates the timeslots that are within the
 period designated as the working day.

 Diagonal shading indicates that the adjacent timeslot is
 within what are normally considered to be nonworking
 hours. Darker shading indicates that the timeslot
 contains at least one entry.

=TITLE Workday Timebar
=INCLUDE csh day_display_timebars workinghours_timebar
=INCLUDE overview widget_section day_widget
 This vertical line to the right of the vertical scroll bar
 shows the working day in relation to the full 24-hour
 period.

 The Workday timebar serves two purposes. First, when you
 use the scroll bar, the timebar indicates the part of the
 day to which you are scrolling.

 Second, the timebar provides a useful reference for
 appointments, which are displayed alongside it and are
 indicated by darker shading in the corresponding section
 of the timebar.  This enables you to see at-a-glance when
 appointments are scheduled and how much of the day they
 occupy.

 Appointment bars that extend beyond the top or the
 bottom of the workday timebar show that the day starts
 early or runs late. If a day contains no appointments,
 no appointment bars are displayed.

=TITLE Alarm Boxes
=INCLUDE csh timeslot_entry
=INCLUDE csh timeslot_entry alarm_setting
 The Calendar alarm box notifies you of pending
 appointments. It displays the day and time of
 appointments and the corresponding text of the Calendar
 entry.

 To delete the box from the screen, click on its Dismiss button.

=TITLE Entry Editor File Menu
=INCLUDE csh timeslot_entry
=INCLUDE overview calendar_menu

 Use the Include... menu item on the File menu to include
 the contents of a file in the text of an entry.  Enter
 the name of the file you want to include in the Include
 dialog box.

 The Include... menu item is active only when you
 have selected a timeslot.  The included text is
 inserted following the cursor in the entry's text.

=TITLE Entry Editor and Day Notes Editor Edit Menu
=KEYWORD editor edit menu
=INCLUDE csh timeslot_entry
=INCLUDE overview edit_menu
 The menu items on the Entry Editor and Day Notes
 Editor's Edit menu look the same as those in the main
 window's Edit menu, but in the Entry Editor or Day
 Notes Editor they affect only the text in the text
 entry box (and not the whole entry).

=Title Entry Editor Menu Bar

 Day numbers correspond to the days of the month. You can
 select a day for display by double clicking on the day
 number.

 Day numbers provide additional information by being
 displayed in different fonts. Numbers displayed in bold
 indicate work days; numbers displayed in italic indicate
 days that contain a Calendar entry. Large (and, on color
 workstations, red) numbers indicate special days.

 The italic font is applied automatically when you make a
 Calendar entry. The other fonts are applied when you
 choose a menu item from the Mark submenu. See the help
 topic Marking Days and Weeks for further details.

 You can also modify the appearance of how the days are
 displayed by filling the Month view with the days from
 the previous and succeeding months. See the help topic
 Enabling and Disabling Blank Days in the Month view for
 more information.

=title Week Numbers
=include overview options_menu customize_general
 These are the week numbers. By default, January 1 is in
 week 1. You can change this default in the General dialog
 box, which is accessible from the Customize menu. The
 same dialog box enables you to turn the week numbers off.

=title Month Names
=include overview widget_section month_widget
 These are the month names. Double clicking on a month
 name causes the Month view to appear, displaying the
 selected month.

=TITLE Calendar Database or Clipboard Error
 This message means that there is a serious problem
 with your Calendar datafile.

 Please submit a Software Performance Report (SPR) to
 Digital Equipment Corporation. If you submit the SPR
 electronically, try to include a copy of your datafile.
 The contents of the database will be treated with the
 utmost discretion and will be deleted after the

=TITLE Serious Error in Calendar
 This message means that there is a serious problem with
 your Calendar software.

 Please submit a Software Performance Report (SPR) to
 Digital Equipment Corporation describing the actions that
 led to this error. If you submit the SPR electronically,
 try to include a copy of your datafile. The contents of
 the database will be treated with the utmost discretion
 and will be deleted after the investigation.

=TITLE Couldn't Open Calendar Datafile
 The name you specified for the Calendar datafile does
 not exist or could not be opened for the reason given.

 This message appears the first time you run DECwindows
 Calendar and whenever you try to open a datafile that
 does not exist.

 If you meant to open a new datafile, click on the Yes
 button. If not, click on the No button and check the
 datafile name that you provided.

=TITLE Couldn't Open New Calendar Datafile
 Although the datafile you specified exists, you
 cannot open it.

 This is probably due to file protection problems, which
 your system manager should be able to resolve.

=TITLE Couldn't Create a Calendar Datafile
 If Calendar cannot create a datafile, it is often
 because there is something wrong with the datafile name
 you have provided. Check the name, then try again.

 If Calendar still cannot create the file, then there is a
 more serious problem.  See your system manager for help.

=TITLE Couldn't Delete Calendar Datafile
 For the reason given, Calendar could not delete the
 Calendar datafile you specified.

 If you do not understand the reason given, or are
 unable to resolve the problem, see your system manager
 for help.

=TITLE File is Not a Calendar Datafile
 DECwindows Calendar opened the file you specified, but
 it is not a Calendar datafile.

 If you are on a VAX/VMS system and are using the logical
 name DECW$CALENDAR_FILE, make sure that it is pointing at a
 valid DECwindows Calendar datafile.

=TITLE Upgrade File is Read-Only
 DECwindows Calendar has attempted to upgrade your
 DECwindows Calendar datafile but failed because the
 file you specified is read-only.

 Check that you have provided the correct file name for
 your datafile, or provide write access for the
 currently specified file.

=TITLE Datafile is Already Open for Exclusive Access
 For a given DECwindows Calendar datafile, the access
 granted depends on the file protection of the datafile.
 DECwindows Calendar supports either one user (session)
 having exclusive write access to its datafile or
 multiple users (sessions) having read-only access.
 Mixed read and write access to the same datafile is not
 possible. You can open any read-only datafile or
 any write-access datafile that is not currently opened
 by another user.

 In your case, another DECwindows Calendar session has
 already opened the specified datafile for exclusive
 write access, so your request to access it is denied.

 If you must open the datafile, ask the current user to
 close it. Otherwise, try again later.

=TITLE Include File Error
 For the reason given, Calendar could not include
 the file you specified.

 If you do not understand the reason given or are
 unable to resolve the problem, see your system manager
 for help.

=TITLE Print File Error
 For the reason given, Calendar could not write to
 the print file you specified.

 If you do not understand the reason given or are
 unable to resolve the problem, see your system manager
 for help.

=TITLE Rename File Error
 For the reason given, Calendar could not rename the
 Calendar datafile you specified.

 If you do not understand the reason given or are
 unable to resolve the problem, see your system manager
 for help.

=TITLE Delete Entry Caution
 You have asked to delete the entry in a timeslot.
 Because this is a destructive operation, DECwindows
 Calendar gives you the opportunity to change your mind.

 If you do want to delete the entry, click on the Yes
 button. If not, click on the No button.

=TITLE Delete Datafile Caution
 You have asked to delete the entire datafile. Because
 this is a destructive operation, DECwindows Calendar
 gives you the opportunity to change your mind.

 If you do want to delete the datafile, click on the Yes
 button. If not, click on the No button.

=TITLE Altering a Repeating Entry
=INCLUDE CSH timeslot_entry repeat_interval
 Repeating entries are Calendar entries made on one
 occasion and then automatically repeated at regular
 intervals (for example, every week).

 If you attempt to change or delete one of these
 entries, you must decide whether you want to
 affect this one occasion (as if it were a single
 event) or every such occasion from now on.

 You can also modify individual occurrences. This is useful
 if, for example, you are looking at a day in the future
 that contains a repeat entry and decide to make a change.
 Instead of returning to the first occurrence of the entry,
 you can modify a future entry by using the Entry Editor.
 When you exit from the Entry Editor, a dialog box asks you
 if you want the changes you made to be applied in:

 -- Just this instance
 -- This and all future instances
 -- All instances, past, present, and future

=TITLE Incorrect File Specification
 The file name you have provided is not valid. Retype it
 using valid characters:

       A - Z        0 - 9
       a - z        underscore (_)
       hyphen (-)   dollar sign ($)

 A file name is a 1- through 39-character string that
 provides a name for a file.

 A file type is a 1- through 39-character string that
 usually identifies the file in terms of its contents. File
 types must be preceded by a period.  For example, if you
 had a Calendar file containing appointments, you might name
 it APPOINTMENTS.DWC.

=TITLE Opening Another Calendar Database
=INCLUDE overview calendar_menu file_open_option
=INCLUDE overview calendar_menu file_open_option create
 You have asked to open another Calendar datafile. You
 can choose whether to open the new database in another
 window (or set of windows) or to use the current
 windows. If you use the current windows, the datafile
 you are currently viewing is replaced by the new one.

 The choice is made by clicking on one of the option
 buttons in the dialog box.

 If you do not want to do either of these, click on the
 Cancel button and you will return to the existing
 window (or windows) and the existing datafile.

=TITLE Clipboard Copying Error
 Although you performed the correct procedure, there
 is a problem with the clipboard. The clipboard is
 probably locked by another application. Try again
 later.

 If the error continues after several retries, report
 the situation to your system manager.

=TITLE Attempting Entries Before 1600 AD
=INCLUDE history calendar_background_decwin
 Calendar is designed to work only from 1600 AD to 9999 AD.
 There is no straightforward way to change this
 characteristic. If you must make entries outside this time
 period, you must use a Calendar application specifically
 designed for that purpose.

=TITLE Clipboard Contents Not Understood by Calendar
 The clipboard can contain data in many formats, some of
 which are incompatible with Calendar.

 The only way to copy such data into Calendar is to first
 open an entry, and then to try to paste the contents of the
 clipboard into the entry. If this does not work, then the
 data is incompatible with Calendar and cannot be copied
 into it.

=TITLE Entry or Day Note Not Closed
 You have tried to perform a task (such as removing the Day
 Note window or changing work days) that requires all
 entries or Day Notes to be closed, but some are still open.

 Check that no Day Notes or entries are open in the current
 Day view. Open entries or Day Notes not associated with the
 current day must have an editor dialog box open, so closing
 all of these closes any remaining open entries or Day
 Notes. Then try your task again.

=TITLE Impossible Configurations

 You have probably changed too many settings in the Day view
 dialog box without checking the results. Reset the box (by
 clicking on the Reset button), then change a few settings
 and click on the Apply button. Continue this process until
 you have created a display that is acceptable to both you
 and Calendar.

=TITLE Including an Empty File
 Although you performed the correct procedure, the file you
 included contained nothing. Check the file name, and if you
 are on a VMS system, the version number. If these are both
 correct, then the problem is with the file itself.

=TITLE Including a File Too Large for an Entry
 Calendar could not save the entry because the file you
 tried to include was too large for Calendar. You can
 either leave the data as a file outside Calendar and
 put a reference to that file in the calendar entry, or
 find a way to shorten the file.

=TITLE Including Too Much Data for One Day
 Although the current entry may not be very large, you
 have exceeded the limit that Calendar allows for any one
 day. You probably have one or more entries with very
 large amounts of data.

 A solution to this problem is to copy the large entry to a
 file outside Calendar, and then put a reference to that
 file in the calendar entry.

=TITLE There is no PostScript Header File
 The PostScript file you tried to create has no header and
 therefore cannot be printed. Re-creating the file is not
 likely to fix the problem. See your system manager for
 help.
