append option

from the cli:

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. Parentheses and semi-colons are known to be a problem; if you use them, quote the whole text message.

Examples:

todo -a admin tue upgrade the laptop

todo -a hobby 2011-01-13 cooking with Richard

If the date is in the past, you will be asked if you want to continue. All fields must be entered. If you forget a tag or a date, you'll get the wrong information in that field in the task list.
