Diary Mode Help - Cyclic Entries

Diary Mode Help - Cyclic Entries

Hi All

Sorry for the essay.

I am using Diary to organize my tasks and appointments.

Could someone help me telling how to create cyclic tasks with time
specification. Say, I want to create a cyclic task that occurs every 3 rd
day viz. 24 June -> 27 June -> 30 June ..... @ 10AM-6PM.

How can I create it using diary?

Another thing is, I want to display alerts for appointments. Now, my
appointment group customization allows me to setup alerts, but if I have
multiple appointments say 2 at same time viz. 4pm and 4.05pm, it displays
alert for only 1st appointment (4pm) instead of 2 appointments (4pm & 4.05pm
).

Kindly help

details read the Emacs Info node `Special Diary Entries' (type C-h i m

This appears to be a bug in appt-check; you might want to file a bug
report (M-x report-emacs-bug).

Sorry, it's just `i' followed by `c', no space character between them.

Hi I created the cyclic entry as follows:

%%(diary-cyclic 3 6 24 2007)
                10AM-6PM cyclic entry

I entered the above text in the diary, and it's created in calendar as I
required.
