Why 7 instead of 4?

Here's a hack to use `number-of-diary-entries' as the default instead of 1.  I'm

sure you can figure out how to change that to 4.  :-)


(defadvice view-diary-entries (before number-of-diary-entries activate)
   "If ARG is not specified, display `number-of-diary-entries' instead of 1."
   (if (and (interactive-p)
	   (null current-prefix-arg))
       (ad-set-arg 0 number-of-diary-entries)))
