three years in the future. The format for the delivery date is:
YYMMDD

YY = Year
MM = Month

GEnie will then request the GE Mail address which is to receive the reminder.
You will also be given the option of adding other GE Mail addresses to the
Carbon Copy list. (Note - Only one address may be specified for the TO:
address.)
Once addressing is complete you will be prompted to enter your
reminder/message. You will enter your reminder using the same line editor
available in GEnie's bulletin board. Wait for the 1> prompt before beginning
to type. Make sure you press at the end of each line (don't type more
than 80 characters for any one line) and wait for the next line number prompt
before continuing with your reminder. You may also elect to compose your
reminder offline and upload it.
For help with commands in the GEnie Reminder Service editor, type *H as the
only two characters at a line-number prompt. When your reminder is complete,
type *S as the only two characters as a line-number prompt to save your
reminder.
