1) ENTRIES

a) default

$ todo

a)use no option: todo

Run the script with no options, and you will be prompted to enter a tag, a date, and a message, all on one line, separated by semi-colons. Spaces don't matter, but be consistent about whether you use a space before and after the semi-colon, so your fields line up when you recall them. Nothing needs to be quoted. It is now safe to use colons in the message field. (starting with version .04.1)

b) append

$ todo -a tag; date; message

b)use the -a option (add/append)

todo -a tag date message text. All information you want to enter goes on the command line. Leave a space between each field. Free-form dates with spaces, like "next week" or "Nov 15" need to be quoted. The message text may or may not need quotes, depending on what symbols it contains. If the date is in the past, you will be asked if you want to continue.

c) interactive

$ todo -i

c) Use the -i option (interactive)

Script asks you to enter tag, date and message, one item at a time.

d) recurrent events

$ todo -r

d) Use the -r option ( recurrent)

You will be prompted to enter all fields, separated by semi-colons. Fields are tag, date, text number of times the event repeats, and length of time between the events (days, weeks, months).
