Hi all, Being a long-time Emacs user, I've finally decided to take the plunge and try org-mode. I'm still in the process of figuring out what the best way is for me to use it, (and I suspect I'll need a few more weeks to do so ;-) but I'm wondering about timestamps, especially about how to represent certain things that seem to me rather common but aren't discussed explicitly in the manual.
Most pressing: how can I say that a certain event occurs every week on a certain day and time, but only for a limited period? E.g., for classes I teach I want to be able to say 'this class takes place from April 8 through July 8, every Thursday from 12.00 to 14.00. If I write: <2010-04-08 Thu 12:00-14.00 +1w> I get the correct time and interval, but of course it doesn't stop at the correct date. However, if I write <2010-04-08 Thu 12:00-14.00 +1w>--<2010-07-08 Thu> then it shows up *every day* in the agenda view, not just on Thursdays. (That actually looks like a bug to me, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong.) Also, is there a way to say that a certain event that occurs every week does not occur on one specific date? For example, I teach a class every Thursday, but the Thu. 13th of May was Ascension Day, so the class was cancelled. I would like the event to not show up on such days. BTW, I'm using Aquamacs 2.0, (org-version) says "6.33x", in case that's relevant.
