Subject: Re: [GWN] Calendar questions and a future wish
Hello Stacey. First off, your suggestion of entering in a date to see what
it'll be in the future is a good one. I have marked this down and it will
hopefully be added. As to how to use the calendar. You choose a date by
entering it in the format MM space DD space YYYY. This means 2 digits for
the month followed by a space, 2 digits for the date followed by a space,
and 4 digits for the year.
While you are in the calendar, have you pressed space-h to see the context
sensitive help? This gives you the instructions on how to enter in a date
as well as how to move the date using space-commands so you need not enter
in a string of numbers.
Lastly, A lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on cycles of the moon
phase. The only widely used purely lunar calendar is the Islamic calendar,
whose year always consists of 12 lunar months. A feature of a purely lunar
year, on the Islamic calendar model, is that the calendar ceases to be
linked to the seasons, and drifts each year by 11 or 12 days, and comes
back to the position it had in relation to the solar ear every 33 or 34
Islamic years. It is used predominantly for religious purposes. In Saudi
Arabia it is also used for commercial purposes.
Most lunar calendars are in fact lunisolar calendars. That is, months are
kept on a lunar cycle, but then intercalary months
are added to bring the lunar cycles into synchronization with the solar
year. Being that there are about twelve lunations (synodic months) in a
solar year, this period (354.37 days) is sometimes referred to as a
lunar year.
You can get even more details of this at

Hope this helps.

Hi all,
How do I use the calendar in the utilities menu in the voice sense?
I've read the manual but I don't understand.
What is the difference between the solar and lunar calendar?
I'd like to suggest a feature for a future update as well.
I'd love to see a way to enter a number of days and press enter and you
would know what that date and day of th week would be.
For example, you'd bring up todays date. 8/8/08 and then press the number
10 and then the letter d for day or w for week and then enter. In the
example you'd hear August 18 2008.
Thanks, and all help with the calendar is appreciated.
