Hi everyone,

I was looking to set an audible alarm or at least display a message of 
some kind.
Google brought me no results, apart from capabilities that are within 
Emacs itself, namely the diary & appointments.
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Appointments.html

Can anyone point me to how to do this, if possible at all.

(I'm on windows environment, but interested in Linux too.)

Thanks for your help!

Erwin
