I put together a todo program here;
http://linuxcrazy.pastebin.com/f74beaf78

And I am trying to add an option to edit the values which are date and 
time. Below I have gotten this far but now I need some help. looks like 
my attempt to use setdefault will not work. Please point me in the right 
direction my head has started to hurt :)
thanks
