   1) It appears that the only way to add new entries to the system is to go
   edit the .reminders or some equivalent file.  Is there a fuction in remind
   itself to add entries interactively ?

None to my knowledge.  What's wrong using an editor?

   3) One of the other ways is to use the "mail" to deliver a reminder. 
   That did not seem as good to me as delivering it directly on the screen.

Isn't this a matter of taste, or choice?

   4) Using the script included with the destribution (remind-all.sh) 
   leads to mail being created at the time of running the script and 
   delivering the reminder to mail. Nothing shows up on the screen or in mail
   at the time specified in  AT argument.

It works for me.  I modified the script however to use the mailer
where it is, they are not located at the same place on all systems.  I
changed the MAIL=/usr/bin/mail line to MAIL=/usr/bin/mailx.
