A couple of possibilities:

1) Four separate reminders:

   REM 1 January MSG ...
   REM 1 April   MSG ...
   REM 1 July    MSG ...
   REM 1 October MSG ...

2) SATISFY hackery:

   REM 1 SATISFY [! ((monnum(trigdate()) - 1) % 3)] MSG 1st of every third month

(Adjust the "-1" to pick the right set of months.)

To me, (1) is clearer.

Regards,

David.
