Is there a way to make a reminder?

I have an app that's basically a clock but also as a timer function and i would like to have a reminder function where the user inputs the time or date that he/she want the reminder to appear and what he want to be reminded of (i.e ' Go see if the food's ready ' ), and when that time came , it would appear a pop up message ( using msgbox ) on matlab. Can someone give me some help ? I tried the e = etime(t2,t1) but it didn't help much because i had a while that would make etime run until e<=0 but it would pass through 0 and the while cycle wouldn't stop. HELP!!

Use timer() with a StartDelay set to the difference in clock time between now and the time desired.
