Weekly Repeat Appointment scheduling for fixed date range

Weekly Repeat Appointment scheduling for fixed date range

[RC]

Hi,
 I would like to schedule an appointment that repeats weekly (actually to repeat
Tuesday, Thursday, or Monday, Wednesday, Friday) with a fixed ending time and
over a fixed range of dates. The following just repeated the appointment for
every day in the date interval:
<2008-08-26 Tue 10:00-11:00 +1w>-<2008-12-09 Tue 10:00-11:00 +1w>

I wanted to check if one of you had a solution, before I tried writing an emacs
diary sexp function.

Thanks.

Hi,
 To follow up on my earlier post. I modified the diary-schedule function at
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/DiaryMode to select more than one 
dayname (e.g. Tuesday and Thursday) and a time-period, over a block of dates. 
I am trying to figure out how to include this function in an org file, similar
to what can be done with built-in diary functions, 
e.g <%%(diary-block 8 25 2008 12 12 2008)>. 
I would welcome any suggestions on how to do this.

I don't think org-mode supports repeated entries with an end date (but I
could be wrong there).  For cases where I can just let it repeat forever
I just make one weekly repeater entry for each day (i.e. Monday,
Wednesday, Friday would be 3 tasks, which repeat weekly.)

It's not very elegant but it works (for me).

Maybe someone else on the list has a better idea...
