I like the idea of ENDS.  I worry that Remind is becoming unreadable;
we already have THROUGH and UNTIL. :)

I'll consider ENDS, though your example is a little ambiguous because
there's no year after the ENDS.  I guess Remind can infer it.

But then people are going to want:

    REM Monday AT 2:00pm ENDS 4:00pm MSG whatever
    REM 31 October AT 23:00 ENDS 02:00 MSG Late-night party!

which is going to make the parsing a bit annoying.

Dianne.
