CALENDAR <calendar file>                                     / K.Vehkalahti
searches events from the <calendar file> and displays them on the screen.
The <calendar file> can be given also as a system parameter `calendar' in
SURVO.APU file, e.g. calendar=C:\E\D\CALENDAR.96 .
The calendar file is a text file. Every event is described by one line:

<s> <month> <day> <events> 

The month names can be abbreviated to three letters.
The <s> parameter is an optional color code (shadow character), so that
different events can be shown with different colors. The default color
is bright white on blue (shadow character `/').
By default the events of the current day and two next days are displayed.
That can be changed by specification DAYS=<number> .
The displayed lines can be loaded to the edit field by pressing `+'.
