     options as	well as	the following:

     -c	calendar
	  Specifies the	calendar to display.  The default value
	  is equivalent	to $USER@$HOST.

     -p	printer
	  Specifies the	default	printer.  The default is the
	  system's default printer.

CONCEPTS
     A calendar	is a persistent	entity existing	somewhere on the
     network, which contains scheduling	data for a user.  A
     calendar entry is an event	recorded within	the context of a
     calendar.	Calendar entries supported by dtcm are appoint-
     ment and to-do.  Calendar entries can be single, or repeat
     entries.  A calendar entry	may have one or	more reminders
     associated	with it.  A reminder causes dtcm to notify you by
     issuing an	alarm when the system time enters your specified
     reminder notice period before the event.  When viewing your
     calendar, you have	the notion of the current date,	which is
     the date you last selected	by selecting the Day View, or by
     clicking in any of	the other views.  The current date does

     not change	until you select another date, even if you have
     navigated out of a	view that would	contain	the current date.
     dtcm presents a network calendar model. To	operate	on a
     calendar belonging	to some	user on	the network, dtcm estab-
     lishes a session with a calendar server.  The calendar
     server is (conceptually at	least) a separate process running
     on	the host where the calendar is located.	 It manages all
     the calendars for the host	on which it is running,	and can
     service multiple connected	applications simultaneously.  The
     calendar server responds to authentication, session control
     and calendar transactions initiated by dtcm.  In addition
     dtcm responds to events occurring at the server, such as
     updates caused by other connected applications instances.

USAGE
     dtcm has a	single main window, containing a graphical calen-
     dar.  You can choose to view day, week, month or year in the
     main window.  Navigating between the views	is achieved by
     selecting the view	from the View menu, or by clicking one of
     the navigation buttons displayed in the current view.

		    other options are listed in	alphabetical
		    order.

     Secondary Windows In addition to the main window, dtcm has
     several secondary windows,	which give you access to the
     scheduling	and browsing features of dtcm.	The Appointment
     Editor allows scheduling of appointments.	An appointment is
     the most common type of calendar entry.  It is useful for
     scheduling	time-slots in your calendar, and can be	exported
     to	other users either by direct entry to their calendars, or
     through electronic	mail.  To invoke the appointment editor,
     select it from the	Schedule menu in the main window, or
     double-click anywhere in the graphical calendar view.  The
     To	Do Editor allows you to	maintain a list	of to-do items
     for your personal use.  To-do entries are not visible to
     other dtcm	users who are browsing your calendar; they are
     private to	you.  To-do entries differ from	appointments in
     that they do not necessarily appear as scheduled events in
     your calendar views.  If they have	a Due Date associated
     with them,	you will see that on your calendar view.  The
     main purpose of to-do entries is to allow you to maintain a
     list of work items, without necessarily allocating	calendar
     time for them.  Invoke the	to-do editor by	selecting it from
     the Schedule menu in the main window.  The	Group Appointment
     Editor allows you to schedule an appointment on multiple
     calendars at once.	  Invoke the group appointment editor by
     clicking Schedule in the Compare Calendars	window.	  You may
     optionally	announce the appointment over electronic mail.
     The Compare Calendars window allows you to	connect	to
     several calendars simultaneously, and get a graphical over-
     view of busy and available	time in	the resultant "virtual
     calendar".	 Invoke	the compare calendars window by	selecting
     it	from the Browse	menu in	the main window.  The Options
     window, accessible	from the File menu, gives you access to
     the dtcm options that you can configure.  There are several
     categories	of options: Editor Defaults; Display Settings;
     Access List and Permissions; Printer Settings; Date Format.
     Set the options to	suit your requirements,	and save them by
     clicking Apply.

RESOURCES
     dtcm supports a number of application resources to	allow you
     to	configure its behaviour.  The application class	name for
     dtcm is Dtcm.  To set application resources, you can copy
     the system	default	version	of this	file from /usr/dt/app-
     defaults/<LANG>/Dtcm to a personal	version, typically
     ~/app-defaults/Dtcm, and edit it with your	changes. Follow-
     ing is the	list of	supported resources and	their default
     values.
