Abstract
A software reminder procedure that allows a user to save a display screen displayed by a currently executing process as part of a reminder message for later recall. The reminder message can be saved without exiting or ending the currently executing process. The display (and therefore the reminder) can be text, electronic mail messages, graphic screen displays, single screen displays, or multiple screen displays. Certain types of reminders are automatically updated when the data from which they were created is updated, so that a most current version is always displayed.
