Although it's conceivable that one could change all the individual cell
colors, it seems a bit unreasonable to have such a customization. And
maybe a little pointless. It would, however, be useful if one could
change the color of different categories and such using such a .hyperrc
file.

The above didn't really make sense to me, but I think what's supposed to
happen is this: For each appointment description, the program generates
an HTML file and that page is linked in from the main hyperwag
schedule/table/thingie. Actually, a better way to do it might be to have
all the descriptions in ONE html file, where each description is given
an anchor name. That way, you don't have to clutter the user's
directories with html files. That would be neat, I guess.
