-  An appointment is merely an event scheduled for a particular time and day.
A lunch date, for instance, would be entered as an appointment.  A deadline is
an event for which your office is responsible.  It's character is such that
failing to meet it may get you into trouble.  An expectation, on the other
hand, is an event which SHOULD take place, but for which you aren't respon-
sible.  For instance, if another office is supposed to answer a complaint by
20 August, you would enter that event as an expectation.  If YOU are supposed
to answer a complaint by 20 August, you would enter it as a deadline.
-  A multi-day event (such as a vacation) should be entered as an Expectation.
-  Each entry consists of a date, beginning and ending times, a project and a
short description of the event.  Up to 17 lines of notes may also be attached.
-  A Reminder is an entry reminding you that an Appointment, Deadline, or Ex-
pectation is expected at some time in the future.  A Reminder must be set at
least 1 day prior to the event to which it refers.  For instance, you might
wish to be reminded on Monday that you have an important briefing on Friday.
Or you might wish to be reminded that a report is due in a couple of weeks
(the due date of the report would be entered as a deadline, and a reminder
could be set two weeks prior to that date).  Each appointment, deadline, and
expectation may have up to 4 reminders linked to it.
-  A Timetable is a file that lists the expected events for a matter with which
you are involved.  The listing contains the anticipated time intervals between
events.  When you enter or change an event's date in the Timetable, TickleX
will automatically change the dates for all related events accordingly. Time-
tables are very useful in charting the anticipated course of a project.
